Over the course of his career,
Ben Hill
made 17 plate appearances
and pitched 16 innings.
Hill
was worth
-0.5 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.1 as a hitter and -0.5 as a pitcher)
and -0.7 Wins Above Average
(-0.1 as a hitter and -0.6 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -0.5 WAR becomes
-1.0 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hill -1.0 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).
Ben Hill has a Hall Rating of
-1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
