Over the course of his career,
John Axford
pitched 525 innings
and made 1 plate appearances.
Axford
was worth
4.2 Wins Above Replacement
(4.2 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and -0.1 Wins Above Average
(0.0 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.2 WAR becomes
5.0 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 -0.1 WAA becomes 3.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Axford 11.4 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).
John Axford has a Hall Rating of
11,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
