Over the course of his career,
Cliff Blackmon
pitched 152 innings
and made 63 plate appearances.
Blackmon
was worth
-1.4 Wins Above Replacement
(-1.4 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -2.6 Wins Above Average
(-2.5 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.4 WAR becomes
-1.7 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 -2.6 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blackmon -1.7 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).
Cliff Blackmon has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
