Over the course of his career,
Dick Coffman
pitched 1,460 innings
and made 444 plate appearances.
Coffman
was worth
5.3 Wins Above Replacement
(8.0 as a pitcher and -2.7 as a hitter)
and -8.1 Wins Above Average
(-5.2 as a pitcher and -2.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.3 WAR becomes
5.8 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 -8.1 WAA becomes 4.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Coffman 13.4 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).
Dick Coffman has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
