Over the course of his career,
Steve Finley
made 10,460 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Finley
was worth
44.2 Wins Above Replacement
(44.2 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and 12.2 Wins Above Average
(12.2 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 44.2 WAR becomes
44.8 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 12.2 WAA becomes 21.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Finley 83.7 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).
Steve Finley has a Hall Rating of
79,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
