Over the course of his career,
Chester Blanchard
made 80 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Blanchard
was worth
-0.7 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.7 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher)
and -0.9 Wins Above Average
(-1.0 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -0.7 WAR becomes
-2.0 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blanchard -2.0 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).
Chester Blanchard has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
