Over the course of his career,
Bob Groom
pitched 2,336 innings
and made 854 plate appearances.
Groom
was worth
11.4 Wins Above Replacement
(15.4 as a pitcher and -4.1 as a hitter)
and -7.9 Wins Above Average
(-3.6 as a pitcher and -4.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.4 WAR becomes
11.3 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 -7.9 WAA becomes 4.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Groom 19.6 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).
Bob Groom has a Hall Rating of
18,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
