Over the course of his career,
Lefty Calhoun
pitched 249 innings
and made 123 plate appearances.
Calhoun
was worth
-1.3 Wins Above Replacement
(-1.0 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -3.2 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 -1.3 WAR becomes
-1.0 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 -3.2 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Calhoun -0.3 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).
Lefty Calhoun has a Hall Rating of
0,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
