Over the course of his career,
Dean Chance
pitched 2,147 innings
and made 759 plate appearances.
Chance
was worth
29.9 Wins Above Replacement
(34.9 as a pitcher and -5.1 as a hitter)
and 12.0 Wins Above Average
(17.0 as a pitcher and -5.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.9 WAR becomes
31.2 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 12.0 WAA becomes 18.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Chance 64.9 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).
Dean Chance has a Hall Rating of
61,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
