Over the course of his career,
Cy Barger
pitched 975 innings
and made 455 plate appearances.
Barger
was worth
5.7 Wins Above Replacement
(5.1 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter)
and -0.4 Wins Above Average
(-0.8 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.7 WAR becomes
6.0 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 -0.4 WAA becomes 4.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Barger 13.6 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).
Cy Barger has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
