Over the course of his career,
Art Houtteman
pitched 1,555 innings
and made 567 plate appearances.
Houtteman
was worth
11.3 Wins Above Replacement
(11.2 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -0.7 Wins Above Average
(-0.7 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.3 WAR becomes
11.9 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 5.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Houtteman 22.2 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).
Art Houtteman has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
