Over the course of his career,
Elmer Knetzer
pitched 1,267 innings
and made 439 plate appearances.
Knetzer
was worth
1.4 Wins Above Replacement
(4.6 as a pitcher and -3.2 as a hitter)
and -6.1 Wins Above Average
(-2.9 as a pitcher and -3.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.4 WAR becomes
1.3 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 -6.1 WAA becomes 2.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Knetzer 4.9 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).
Elmer Knetzer has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
