Over the course of his career,
Ray Caldwell
pitched 2,242 innings
and made 1,270 plate appearances.
Caldwell
was worth
36.4 Wins Above Replacement
(30.9 as a pitcher and 5.4 as a hitter)
and 14.4 Wins Above Average
(10.1 as a pitcher and 4.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 36.4 WAR becomes
38.4 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 14.4 WAA becomes 18.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Caldwell 71.7 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).
Ray Caldwell has a Hall Rating of
67,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
