Over the course of his career,
Willie Gray
made 617 plate appearances
and pitched 38 innings.
Gray
was worth
1.0 Wins Above Replacement
(1.4 as a hitter and -0.5 as a pitcher)
and -1.3 Wins Above Average
(-0.4 as a hitter and -0.9 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.0 WAR becomes
3.7 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 -1.3 WAA becomes 0.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gray 4.8 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).
Willie Gray has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
