Over the course of his career,
Fred Hobgood
pitched 166 innings
and made 76 plate appearances.
Hobgood
was worth
-2.1 Wins Above Replacement
(-2.2 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -3.2 Wins Above Average
(-3.4 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.1 WAR becomes
-1.9 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 -3.2 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hobgood -1.9 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).
Fred Hobgood has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
