Over the course of his career,
Melvin Powell
made 504 plate appearances
and pitched 349 innings.
Powell
was worth
2.4 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.6 as a hitter and 2.9 as a pitcher)
and -1.6 Wins Above Average
(-1.7 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.4 WAR becomes
2.5 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 -1.6 WAA becomes 2.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Powell 7.4 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).
Melvin Powell has a Hall Rating of
7,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
