Over the course of his career,
Jim Bouton
pitched 1,238 innings
and made 394 plate appearances.
Bouton
was worth
7.6 Wins Above Replacement
(9.5 as a pitcher and -1.9 as a hitter)
and -2.8 Wins Above Average
(-0.8 as a pitcher and -1.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.6 WAR becomes
7.7 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 -2.8 WAA becomes 5.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bouton 17.8 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).
Jim Bouton has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
