Over the course of his career,
Bob Chipman
pitched 880 innings
and made 278 plate appearances.
Chipman
was worth
7.4 Wins Above Replacement
(8.6 as a pitcher and -1.2 as a hitter)
and -0.7 Wins Above Average
(0.5 as a pitcher and -1.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.4 WAR becomes
8.5 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 3.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Chipman 15.0 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).
Bob Chipman has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
