Over the course of his career,
Al Benton
pitched 1,688 innings
and made 579 plate appearances.
Benton
was worth
18.9 Wins Above Replacement
(24.8 as a pitcher and -6.0 as a hitter)
and 2.7 Wins Above Average
(8.9 as a pitcher and -6.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 18.9 WAR becomes
20.8 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 2.7 WAA becomes 18.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Benton 53.2 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 Benton has a Hall Rating of
50,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
