Over the course of his career,
Rufus Baker
made 520 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Baker
was worth
-1.6 Wins Above Replacement
(-1.6 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher)
and -3.1 Wins Above Average
(-3.0 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.6 WAR becomes
-4.4 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 -3.1 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Baker -4.4 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).
Rufus Baker has a Hall Rating of
-4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
