Over the course of his career,
Ernie Lombardi
made 6,352 plate appearances.
Lombardi
was worth
37.9 Wins Above Replacement
and 15.9 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 37.9 WAR becomes
45.3 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 15.9 WAA becomes 20.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lombardi 82.6 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).
Ernie Lombardi has a Hall Rating of
78,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
