Over the course of his career,
Steve Lyons
made 2,388 plate appearances
and pitched 3 innings.
Lyons
was worth
1.9 Wins Above Replacement
(1.8 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -5.9 Wins Above Average
(-5.9 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.9 WAR becomes
1.9 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 -5.9 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lyons 2.7 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).
Steve Lyons has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
