With the previous class, we have passed the unofficial half way point of this Hall as now more than half of the players that will be entered have been entered.

A piece of news that was not noted is the lowering of the pitching mound in 2042. This hasn't impacted any numbers for current entrants, but down the road it will. The pitchers already had a tough time getting points, this will make it a bit harder to get HOFm/s numbers, but will have no effect on the Ink numbers.

I had predicted that we would see 50 repeat entrants. So far we have 31. I did not make a prediction on the number of RL HOFers that I expected, but I would have guessed the same number, I suspect. We currently have 24. Thinking about it, it makes sense to me that there would be more repeat OOTP HOFers than RL HOFers since OOTP is running these leagues and RL HOFers that don't translate as well, statistically as some who were snubbed, or ineligible, are more likely to enter here.

I had predicted that we would have 20 RL HOFers from the previous HOF that would be entered here. We currently have 9. So, those numbers are on an expected pace.

I did a check to see which leader board stat was the most indicative of HOF entry for hitters and pitchers. I went down the lists and saw how far down I had to go to find an eligible player who had not been inducted. For both hitters and pitchers the most indicative stat was VORP. I am drawing no conclusion from this, other than it is what it is. Will see if this holds true at the end of the league run.

The current GC mean score for HOF members is 3.9 and the standard deviation of entrants is 1.5. That puts Once in a Generation Willie McCovey's 10.8 score nearly 5 times that of the average HOFer.

The median score of the HOFers is a 3.6. The median entrant is Jesse Tannehill. He is represented by plot 86 on the chart.

We still see the "floor" as slightly above the 2 line, but as of late it is looking more like a cushion.

I have included the chart from the previous HOF, using the same numerical adjustments that are in use here, for comparison.

The average GC at this point in the previous HOF was 4.5. These higher scores can be directly attributed to the lower injury rating extending careers, reducing the number of partial seasons by top players, and the fact that fewer teams were in the league.

We have 3 pitchers that spent the majority of their careers as RPs in the HOF.
