Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Addie Joss pitched 2,327 innings and made 911 plate appearances. Joss was worth 43.8 Wins Above Replacement (45.9 as a pitcher and -2.2 as a hitter) and 22.9 Wins Above Average (25.2 as a pitcher and -2.2 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 43.8 WAR becomes 44.5 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 22.9 WAA becomes 25.7 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Joss 90.2 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).

Addie Joss has a Hall Rating of 85, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
