Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Johnny Kling made 4,655 plate appearances. Kling was worth 29.2 Wins Above Replacement and 13.3 Wins Above Average.

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.2 WAR becomes 35.8 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 13.3 WAA becomes 19.9 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Kling 71.6 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).

Johnny Kling has a Hall Rating of 67, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
