Over the course of his career,
Jim Hickman
made 4,536 plate appearances
and pitched 2 innings.
Hickman
was worth
12.9 Wins Above Replacement
(13.0 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -2.9 Wins Above Average
(-3.1 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.9 WAR becomes
12.9 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 -2.9 WAA becomes 4.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hickman 20.8 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).
Jim Hickman has a Hall Rating of
20,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
