Over the course of his career,
Bob Clarke
made 1,952 plate appearances
and pitched 11 innings.
Clarke
was worth
-5.2 Wins Above Replacement
(-5.1 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher)
and -11.0 Wins Above Average
(-11.0 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -5.2 WAR becomes
-14.7 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 -11.0 WAA becomes 0.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Clarke -14.2 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).
Bob Clarke has a Hall Rating of
-13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
