Over the course of his career,
Bud Norris
pitched 1,221 innings
and made 253 plate appearances.
Norris
was worth
5.3 Wins Above Replacement
(5.1 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter)
and -4.6 Wins Above Average
(-4.9 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.3 WAR becomes
5.4 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 -4.6 WAA becomes 1.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Norris 8.5 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).
Bud Norris has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
