Over the course of his career,
Bill Geiss
made 331 plate appearances
and pitched 100 innings.
Geiss
was worth
-2.5 Wins Above Replacement
(-1.7 as a hitter and -0.7 as a pitcher)
and -3.9 Wins Above Average
(-2.7 as a hitter and -1.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.5 WAR becomes
-2.8 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 -3.9 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Geiss -2.8 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).
Bill Geiss has a Hall Rating of
-3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
