Over the course of his career,
Larry Christenson
pitched 1,402 innings
and made 506 plate appearances.
Christenson
was worth
10.3 Wins Above Replacement
(9.0 as a pitcher and 1.5 as a hitter)
and -1.3 Wins Above Average
(-2.8 as a pitcher and 1.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.3 WAR becomes
10.8 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 -1.3 WAA becomes 1.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Christenson 13.9 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).
Larry Christenson has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
