Over the course of his career,
Derek Bell
made 5,068 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Bell
was worth
13.3 Wins Above Replacement
(13.2 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher)
and -2.4 Wins Above Average
(-2.0 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 13.3 WAR becomes
13.5 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 -2.4 WAA becomes 5.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bell 23.8 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).
Derek Bell has a Hall Rating of
22,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
