Over the course of his career,
Thomas Howard
made 2,696 plate appearances.
Howard
was worth
2.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -6.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.4 WAR becomes
2.3 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 -6.3 WAA becomes 1.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Howard 4.3 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).
Thomas Howard has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
