Over the course of his career,
Buck Alexander
pitched 348 innings
and made 136 plate appearances.
Alexander
was worth
-3.6 Wins Above Replacement
(-3.3 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -6.4 Wins Above Average
(-6.1 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -3.6 WAR becomes
-4.0 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 -6.4 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Alexander -4.0 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).
Buck Alexander has a Hall Rating of
-4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
