Over the course of his career,
Kevin Kobel
pitched 476 innings
and made 87 plate appearances.
Kobel
was worth
2.7 Wins Above Replacement
(2.3 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter)
and -1.3 Wins Above Average
(-1.7 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.7 WAR becomes
2.7 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 -1.3 WAA becomes 1.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kobel 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).
Kevin Kobel has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
