Over the course of his career,
Dale Long
made 3,431 plate appearances.
Long
was worth
10.3 Wins Above Replacement
and -2.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.3 WAR becomes
10.5 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 -2.1 WAA becomes 2.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Long 15.2 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).
Dale Long has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
