Over the course of his career,
William Bell
pitched 1,438 innings
and made 749 plate appearances.
Bell
was worth
34.9 Wins Above Replacement
(32.1 as a pitcher and 2.7 as a hitter)
and 22.6 Wins Above Average
(20.4 as a pitcher and 2.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.9 WAR becomes
39.3 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 22.6 WAA becomes 23.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bell 82.0 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).
William Bell has a Hall Rating of
77,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
