Over the course of his career,
Howard Black
pitched 3 innings
and made 1 plate appearances.
Black
was worth
-0.3 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.3 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and -0.4 Wins Above Average
(-0.4 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -0.3 WAR becomes
-0.4 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 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Black -0.4 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).
Howard Black has a Hall Rating of
0,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
