Over the course of his career,
Rick Ankiel
made 2,115 plate appearances
and pitched 242 innings.
Ankiel
was worth
9.2 Wins Above Replacement
(5.5 as a hitter and 3.6 as a pitcher)
and 1.0 Wins Above Average
(-0.8 as a hitter and 1.7 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.2 WAR becomes
9.3 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 1.0 WAA becomes 4.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ankiel 16.9 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).
Rick Ankiel has a Hall Rating of
16,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
