So far in his career,
Merrill Kelly
has
pitched 573 innings
and made 118 plate appearances.
Kelly
has been worth
7.8 Wins Above Replacement
(8.5 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and 2.9 Wins Above Average
(3.7 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.8 WAR becomes
10.0 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 3.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kelly 17.0 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).
Merrill Kelly has a Hall Rating of
16,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
