The purpose of this dashboard is to provide tools to evaluate nominees for the Reds Hall of Fame. Its primary feature is the JAWS-4 statistic. JAWS-4 is a version of Jay Jaffe’s JAWS statistic that’s been modified to apply to a franchise’s Hall of Fame.
The JAWS statistic is meant to be a starting point in the discussion of a nominee’s creditials for the Hall of Fame. Jaffe provides a thorough explanation here. There’s also a more succinct description at Baseball-Reference.
Other features include a Hall of Fame score which relates a player’s statistics to a typical member of the Hall of Fame and player stat ranks and percentiles. Lastly, there are multiple tables to compare players in other categories like the postseason, fielding, and awards.
A user guide for the dashboard can be found here.
