Over the course of his career,
Tom Poorman
made 2,161 plate appearances
and pitched 109 innings.
Poorman
was worth
-1.2 Wins Above Replacement
(1.2 as a hitter and -2.3 as a pitcher)
and -7.6 Wins Above Average
(-4.4 as a hitter and -3.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.2 WAR becomes
-0.9 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 -7.6 WAA becomes 0.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Poorman -0.5 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).
Tom Poorman has a Hall Rating of
-1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
