Over the course of his career,
Braden Looper
pitched 1,176 innings
and made 227 plate appearances.
Looper
was worth
8.2 Wins Above Replacement
(7.2 as a pitcher and 1.1 as a hitter)
and -0.9 Wins Above Average
(-1.8 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.2 WAR becomes
9.5 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 4.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Looper 16.7 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).
Braden Looper has a Hall Rating of
16,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
