Over the course of his career,
Rube Walker
made 1,758 plate appearances.
Walker
was worth
-2.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -9.2 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.4 WAR becomes
-3.1 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 -9.2 WAA becomes 0.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Walker -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).
Rube Walker has a Hall Rating of
-3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
