Over the course of his career,
Virgil Barnes
pitched 1,094 innings
and made 393 plate appearances.
Barnes
was worth
5.7 Wins Above Replacement
(9.7 as a pitcher and -4.0 as a hitter)
and -3.1 Wins Above Average
(1.0 as a pitcher and -4.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.7 WAR becomes
5.7 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 4.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Barnes 13.8 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).
Virgil Barnes has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
