Over the course of his career,
Buddy Burbage
made 885 plate appearances
and pitched 5 innings.
Burbage
was worth
2.6 Wins Above Replacement
(2.5 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher)
and -0.1 Wins Above Average
(-0.2 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.6 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 -0.1 WAA becomes 1.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Burbage 10.8 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).
Buddy Burbage has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
