Over the course of his career,
Al Atkinson
pitched 915 innings
and made 424 plate appearances.
Atkinson
was worth
-0.8 Wins Above Replacement
(0.2 as a pitcher and -1.0 as a hitter)
and -3.7 Wins Above Average
(-2.7 as a pitcher and -1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -0.8 WAR becomes
-1.1 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 -3.7 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Atkinson -1.1 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).
Al Atkinson has a Hall Rating of
-1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
