Over the course of his career,
Billy Geer
made 950 plate appearances
and pitched 5 innings.
Geer
was worth
1.6 Wins Above Replacement
(2.2 as a hitter and -0.6 as a pitcher)
and -0.9 Wins Above Average
(-0.5 as a hitter and -0.6 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.6 WAR becomes
3.0 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Geer 3.9 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).
Billy Geer has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
