Over the course of his career,
Ricky Bones
pitched 1,278 innings
and made 29 plate appearances.
Bones
was worth
7.0 Wins Above Replacement
(6.9 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and -4.9 Wins Above Average
(-4.8 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.0 WAR becomes
8.9 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 -4.9 WAA becomes 5.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bones 17.9 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).
Ricky Bones has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
