Over the course of his career,
Ian Desmond
made 5,944 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Desmond
was worth
16.2 Wins Above Replacement
(16.2 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -2.6 Wins Above Average
(-2.7 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 16.2 WAR becomes
16.2 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the -2.6 WAA becomes 6.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Desmond 27.1 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
Ian Desmond has a Hall Rating of
25,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
