Over the course of his career,
Scott Elarton
pitched 1,065 innings
and made 203 plate appearances.
Elarton
was worth
2.5 Wins Above Replacement
(2.9 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter)
and -6.7 Wins Above Average
(-6.3 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.5 WAR becomes
3.0 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 -6.7 WAA becomes 3.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Elarton 8.8 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).
Scott Elarton has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
