Over the course of his career,
Dale Gear
made 251 plate appearances
and pitched 186 innings.
Gear
was worth
0.9 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.6 as a hitter and 1.5 as a pitcher)
and -1.4 Wins Above Average
(-1.1 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.9 WAR becomes
0.9 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 -1.4 WAA becomes 0.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gear 1.4 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).
Dale Gear has a Hall Rating of
1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
