Over the course of his career,
Bill Anderson
pitched 301 innings
and made 126 plate appearances.
Anderson
was worth
0.6 Wins Above Replacement
(1.0 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter)
and -1.8 Wins Above Average
(-1.1 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.6 WAR becomes
-0.8 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 -1.8 WAA becomes 1.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Anderson 1.4 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).
Bill Anderson has a Hall Rating of
1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
