Over the course of his career,
Cal Koonce
pitched 971 innings
and made 273 plate appearances.
Koonce
was worth
7.8 Wins Above Replacement
(8.7 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter)
and -1.4 Wins Above Average
(-0.5 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.8 WAR becomes
8.5 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 5.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Koonce 18.4 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).
Cal Koonce has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
