Over the course of his career,
Ping Gardner
pitched 623 innings
and made 268 plate appearances.
Gardner
was worth
4.2 Wins Above Replacement
(4.7 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter)
and -0.9 Wins Above Average
(-0.5 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.2 WAR becomes
4.3 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 2.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gardner 9.5 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).
Ping Gardner has a Hall Rating of
9,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
