Over the course of his career,
Lefty Boone
pitched 113 innings
and made 52 plate appearances.
Boone
was worth
-1.2 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.9 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -1.9 Wins Above Average
(-1.6 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.2 WAR becomes
-2.3 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 -1.9 WAA becomes 0.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Boone -1.8 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).
Lefty Boone has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
