Over the course of his career,
Clay Kirby
pitched 1,548 innings
and made 556 plate appearances.
Kirby
was worth
7.0 Wins Above Replacement
(8.9 as a pitcher and -1.9 as a hitter)
and -6.3 Wins Above Average
(-4.4 as a pitcher and -2.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.0 WAR becomes
7.1 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 -6.3 WAA becomes 4.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kirby 15.0 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).
Clay Kirby has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
