Over the course of his career,
Bob Ferguson
made 3,595 plate appearances
and pitched 57 innings.
Ferguson
was worth
14.4 Wins Above Replacement
(15.8 as a hitter and -1.3 as a pitcher)
and 1.6 Wins Above Average
(3.4 as a hitter and -1.8 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.4 WAR becomes
27.8 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 1.6 WAA becomes 5.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ferguson 38.4 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 Ferguson has a Hall Rating of
36,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
