Over the course of his career,
Kirtley Baker
pitched 371 innings
and made 190 plate appearances.
Baker
was worth
-5.2 Wins Above Replacement
(-5.4 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -8.3 Wins Above Average
(-8.5 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -5.2 WAR becomes
-5.0 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 -8.3 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Baker -5.0 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).
Kirtley Baker has a Hall Rating of
-5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
