Over the course of his career,
Kip Wells
pitched 1,338 innings
and made 371 plate appearances.
Wells
was worth
8.0 Wins Above Replacement
(7.1 as a pitcher and 0.8 as a hitter)
and -3.3 Wins Above Average
(-3.9 as a pitcher and 0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.0 WAR becomes
7.6 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 -3.3 WAA becomes 5.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wells 17.7 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).
Kip Wells has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
