Over the course of his career,
Phil Knell
pitched 1,452 innings
and made 685 plate appearances.
Knell
was worth
8.1 Wins Above Replacement
(10.9 as a pitcher and -2.7 as a hitter)
and -2.3 Wins Above Average
(0.5 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.1 WAR becomes
5.7 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 -2.3 WAA becomes 5.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Knell 15.6 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).
Phil Knell has a Hall Rating of
15,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
