Over the course of his career,
Rich Gale
pitched 970 innings
and made 78 plate appearances.
Gale
was worth
1.6 Wins Above Replacement
(1.5 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter)
and -7.1 Wins Above Average
(-7.3 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.6 WAR becomes
0.8 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 -7.1 WAA becomes 1.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gale 3.7 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).
Rich Gale has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
