Over the course of his career,
Buddy Fields
pitched 55 innings
and made 33 plate appearances.
Fields
was worth
-2.8 Wins Above Replacement
(-3.2 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter)
and -3.3 Wins Above Average
(-3.7 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.8 WAR becomes
-2.3 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 -3.3 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Fields -2.3 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).
Buddy Fields has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
