Over the course of his career,
Harry Hooper
made 10,250 plate appearances
and pitched 2 innings.
Hooper was worth 49.5 Wins Above Replacement
(49.4 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher)
and 15.7 Wins Above Average
(15.5 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 49.5 WAR becomes
51.5 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 15.7 WAA becomes 18.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hooper 83.0 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).
Harry Hooper has a Hall Rating of 82,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
