Over the course of his career,
Willie Adams
pitched 284 innings
and made 94 plate appearances.
Adams
was worth
-3.2 Wins Above Replacement
(-2.5 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and -5.7 Wins Above Average
(-4.9 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -3.2 WAR becomes
-3.9 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 -5.7 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Adams -3.9 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).
Willie Adams has a Hall Rating of
-4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
