Over the course of his career,
Mel Parnell
pitched 1,752 innings
and made 729 plate appearances.
Parnell
was worth
27.8 Wins Above Replacement
(27.4 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter)
and 13.9 Wins Above Average
(13.4 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 27.8 WAR becomes
28.5 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 13.9 WAA becomes 17.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Parnell 60.4 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).
Mel Parnell has a Hall Rating of
57,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
