Over the course of his career,
Lou Bierbauer
made 6,034 plate appearances
and pitched 14 innings.
Bierbauer
was worth
14.0 Wins Above Replacement
(13.9 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -3.5 Wins Above Average
(-3.3 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.0 WAR becomes
15.1 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 -3.5 WAA becomes 4.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bierbauer 23.7 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).
Lou Bierbauer has a Hall Rating of
22,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
