Over the course of his career,
Ted Kennedy
pitched 283 innings
and made 122 plate appearances.
Kennedy
was worth
-4.1 Wins Above Replacement
(-2.7 as a pitcher and -1.5 as a hitter)
and -5.7 Wins Above Average
(-4.3 as a pitcher and -1.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -4.1 WAR becomes
-3.9 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 -5.7 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kennedy -3.9 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).
Ted Kennedy has a Hall Rating of
-4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
