Over the course of his career,
Bill Kissinger
pitched 319 innings
and made 220 plate appearances.
Kissinger
was worth
-4.2 Wins Above Replacement
(-3.9 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -7.1 Wins Above Average
(-6.7 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -4.2 WAR becomes
-4.5 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 -7.1 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kissinger -4.5 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).
Bill Kissinger has a Hall Rating of
-4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
