Over the course of his career,
Bill Harvey
pitched 490 innings
and made 421 plate appearances.
Harvey
was worth
2.0 Wins Above Replacement
(0.5 as a pitcher and 1.4 as a hitter)
and -2.3 Wins Above Average
(-3.2 as a pitcher and 0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.0 WAR becomes
0.5 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 -2.3 WAA becomes 1.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Harvey 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 Harvey has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
