Over the course of his career,
Pete Dowling
pitched 916 innings
and made 378 plate appearances.
Dowling
was worth
6.1 Wins Above Replacement
(6.5 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter)
and -2.3 Wins Above Average
(-1.7 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.1 WAR becomes
6.0 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 -2.3 WAA becomes 1.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Dowling 8.5 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).
Pete Dowling has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
