Over the course of his career,
Doug Bird
pitched 1,213 innings
and made 90 plate appearances.
Bird
was worth
8.9 Wins Above Replacement
(9.1 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and -3.1 Wins Above Average
(-2.8 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.9 WAR becomes
11.5 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 -3.1 WAA becomes 6.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bird 23.2 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).
Doug Bird has a Hall Rating of
22,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
