Over the course of his career,
Tommy Bond
pitched 3,628 innings
and made 1,997 plate appearances.
Bond
was worth
60.8 Wins Above Replacement
(61.0 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and 33.3 Wins Above Average
(34.3 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 60.8 WAR becomes
48.5 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 33.3 WAA becomes 34.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bond 110.8 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).
Tommy Bond has a Hall Rating of
104,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
