Over the course of his career,
Bones Ely
made 5,589 plate appearances
and pitched 52 innings.
Ely
was worth
7.3 Wins Above Replacement
(8.9 as a hitter and -1.6 as a pitcher)
and -11.7 Wins Above Average
(-9.9 as a hitter and -1.8 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.3 WAR becomes
8.1 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 -11.7 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ely 9.0 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).
Bones Ely has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
