Over the course of his career,
J.J. Hoover
pitched 285 innings
and made 1 plate appearances.
Hoover
was worth
0.9 Wins Above Replacement
(0.8 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter)
and -1.2 Wins Above Average
(-1.4 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.9 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 -1.2 WAA becomes 2.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hoover 5.5 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).
J.J. Hoover has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
