Over the course of his career,
Joe Gordon
made 6,538 plate appearances.
Gordon was worth 54.0 Wins Above Replacement
and 37.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.0 WAR becomes
55.4 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 37.2 WAA becomes 37.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gordon 118.2 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).
Joe Gordon has a Hall Rating of 117,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
