Over the course of his career,
Elam Vangilder
pitched 1,715 innings
and made 652 plate appearances.
Vangilder
was worth
15.1 Wins Above Replacement
(13.2 as a pitcher and 2.0 as a hitter)
and -1.4 Wins Above Average
(-3.4 as a pitcher and 2.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 15.1 WAR becomes
16.0 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 -1.4 WAA becomes 7.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Vangilder 28.8 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).
Elam Vangilder has a Hall Rating of
27,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
