Over the course of his career,
Doc Lavan
made 4,270 plate appearances.
Lavan
was worth
9.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -6.5 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.4 WAR becomes
9.8 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 -6.5 WAA becomes 2.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lavan 13.8 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).
Doc Lavan has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
