Over the course of his career,
Vinegar Bend Mizell
pitched 1,528 innings
and made 570 plate appearances.
Mizell
was worth
14.8 Wins Above Replacement
(17.5 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter)
and -0.3 Wins Above Average
(2.4 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.8 WAR becomes
14.7 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 -0.3 WAA becomes 6.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mizell 26.0 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).
Vinegar Bend Mizell has a Hall Rating of
24,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
