Over the course of his career,
Wally Bunker
pitched 1,085 innings
and made 386 plate appearances.
Bunker
was worth
6.9 Wins Above Replacement
(7.4 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter)
and -2.1 Wins Above Average
(-1.6 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.9 WAR becomes
6.8 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 -2.1 WAA becomes 4.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bunker 14.0 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).
Wally Bunker has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
