Over the course of his career,
Ron Darling
pitched 2,360 innings
and made 608 plate appearances.
Darling
was worth
19.7 Wins Above Replacement
(18.8 as a pitcher and 0.7 as a hitter)
and -1.6 Wins Above Average
(-2.1 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 19.7 WAR becomes
19.9 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 -1.6 WAA becomes 6.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Darling 31.1 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).
Ron Darling has a Hall Rating of
29,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
