Hitting a HOMA!

Baseball's Live Ball Era "Hall of Maximum Achievement"

Roberto Clemente

Fine Tuning Achievement

The Secret Sauce 2.0 PED Users

The original version of the Hall of Maximum Achievement (HOMA) relied on Peak WAR and career OPS+/ERA+ for its basis. To be truer to its name, this 2.0 HOMA version emphasizes only peak measures that are in relation to the entire group of major league players (i.e. not just replacement level).This updated version uses Peak WAA (Wins Above Average) and the combo stat of Peak OPS+ and Peak Rdef+ (named Peak O&D) for position players and Peak WAA and Peak ERA+ for pitchers, with some adjustment for modern day relief pitcher appearances.

The various peak scores are finally scaled and weighted (75-25 Peak WAA to Peak O&D for position players and a 2 to 1 ratio Peak WAA to Peak ERA+ for pitchers) to come up with a final HOMA-R (regular season) score. A HOMA-C (championship) score also calculates the effect of any championship series play.

The greater of the HOMA-R and HOMA-C scores is used as a player's actual HOMA score. Final HOMA scores of 99 or greater quality players for induction into the Hall Of Maximum Achievement.
