Over the course of his career,
Dick Buckley
made 1,974 plate appearances.
Buckley
was worth
4.2 Wins Above Replacement
and -2.6 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.2 WAR becomes
5.4 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 -2.6 WAA becomes 0.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Buckley 7.0 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).
Dick Buckley has a Hall Rating of
7,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
