Over the course of his career,
Lon Knight
made 2,387 plate appearances
and pitched 412 innings.
Knight
was worth
-2.4 Wins Above Replacement
(0.8 as a hitter and -3.2 as a pitcher)
and -11.8 Wins Above Average
(-5.6 as a hitter and -6.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.4 WAR becomes
-1.7 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 -11.8 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Knight -1.7 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).
Lon Knight has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
