Over the course of his career,
Jerry Walker
pitched 747 innings
and made 268 plate appearances.
Walker
was worth
5.6 Wins Above Replacement
(4.3 as a pitcher and 1.4 as a hitter)
and -0.1 Wins Above Average
(-1.6 as a pitcher and 1.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.6 WAR becomes
5.8 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 -0.1 WAA becomes 2.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Walker 10.7 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).
Jerry Walker has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
