Over the course of his career,
Bob Veale
pitched 1,926 innings
and made 676 plate appearances.
Veale
was worth
22.0 Wins Above Replacement
(24.7 as a pitcher and -2.7 as a hitter)
and 4.3 Wins Above Average
(7.0 as a pitcher and -2.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 22.0 WAR becomes
22.4 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 4.3 WAA becomes 12.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Veale 44.7 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).
Bob Veale has a Hall Rating of
42,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
