Over the course of his career,
Buck O'Neil
made 1,446 plate appearances
and pitched 3 innings.
O'Neil
was worth
1.9 Wins Above Replacement
(1.9 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -2.4 Wins Above Average
(-2.4 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.9 WAR becomes
5.0 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 -2.4 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives O'Neil 5.7 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).
Buck O'Neil has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
