Over the course of his career,
Bill Byrd
pitched 1,344 innings
and made 870 plate appearances.
Byrd
was worth
30.7 Wins Above Replacement
(25.9 as a pitcher and 4.9 as a hitter)
and 19.7 Wins Above Average
(15.8 as a pitcher and 3.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 30.7 WAR becomes
39.8 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 19.7 WAA becomes 17.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Byrd 71.8 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).
Bill Byrd has a Hall Rating of
68,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
