Over the course of his career,
Chad Billingsley
pitched 1,212 innings
and made 412 plate appearances.
Billingsley
was worth
17.2 Wins Above Replacement
(17.0 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter)
and 7.5 Wins Above Average
(7.4 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 17.2 WAR becomes
17.6 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 7.5 WAA becomes 9.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Billingsley 34.7 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).
Chad Billingsley has a Hall Rating of
33,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
