Over the course of his career,
Ken Harrelson
made 3,364 plate appearances.
Harrelson
was worth
6.6 Wins Above Replacement
and -4.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.6 WAR becomes
6.6 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 -4.7 WAA becomes 3.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Harrelson 12.9 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).
Ken Harrelson has a Hall Rating of
12,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
