Over the course of his career,
David Howard
made 1,795 plate appearances
and pitched 2 innings.
Howard
was worth
2.7 Wins Above Replacement
(2.6 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -3.6 Wins Above Average
(-3.5 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.7 WAR becomes
2.8 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 -3.6 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Howard 3.7 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).
David Howard has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
