Over the course of his career,
Howie Pollet
pitched 2,107 innings
and made 790 plate appearances.
Pollet
was worth
34.4 Wins Above Replacement
(33.8 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter)
and 13.9 Wins Above Average
(13.5 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.4 WAR becomes
35.7 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 13.9 WAA becomes 18.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Pollet 69.4 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).
Howie Pollet has a Hall Rating of
65,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
