Over the course of his career,
Bob Buhl
pitched 2,587 innings
and made 953 plate appearances.
Buhl
was worth
21.9 Wins Above Replacement
(28.0 as a pitcher and -6.1 as a hitter)
and -3.3 Wins Above Average
(2.9 as a pitcher and -6.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.9 WAR becomes
22.7 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 -3.3 WAA becomes 9.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Buhl 40.2 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).
Bob Buhl has a Hall Rating of
38,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
