Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Dickey Kerr pitched 811 innings and made 324 plate appearances. Kerr was worth 10.1 Wins Above Replacement (9.2 as a pitcher and 0.9 as a hitter) and 2.4 Wins Above Average (1.5 as a pitcher and 0.9 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.1 WAR becomes 11.3 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 2.4 WAA becomes 2.8 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Kerr 16.3 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).

Dickey Kerr has a Hall Rating of 15, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
