Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Eddie Rommel pitched 2,555 innings and made 960 plate appearances. Rommel was worth 49.8 Wins Above Replacement (50.3 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter) and 24.8 Wins Above Average (25.3 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 49.8 WAR becomes 54.4 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 24.8 WAA becomes 28.4 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Rommel 105.5 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).

Eddie Rommel has a Hall Rating of 98, making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
