Over the course of his career,
Bruce Hurst
pitched 2,417 innings
and made 331 plate appearances.
Hurst
was worth
34.2 Wins Above Replacement
(34.5 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter)
and 13.6 Wins Above Average
(13.9 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.2 WAR becomes
34.2 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 13.6 WAA becomes 19.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hurst 68.6 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).
Bruce Hurst has a Hall Rating of
64,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
