Over the course of his career,
Bill Parks
pitched 112 innings
and made 122 plate appearances.
Parks
was worth
-2.2 Wins Above Replacement
(-1.5 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and -3.3 Wins Above Average
(-2.4 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.2 WAR becomes
-3.3 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 -3.3 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Parks -3.3 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).
Bill Parks has a Hall Rating of
-3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
