Over the course of his career,
Spoon Carter
pitched 704 innings
and made 311 plate appearances.
Carter
was worth
4.3 Wins Above Replacement
(4.2 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter)
and -0.9 Wins Above Average
(-0.9 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.3 WAR becomes
2.4 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 4.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Carter 10.1 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).
Spoon Carter has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
