Over the course of his career,
Sidney Ponson
pitched 1,760 innings
and made 80 plate appearances.
Ponson
was worth
11.5 Wins Above Replacement
(11.2 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -5.5 Wins Above Average
(-5.4 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.5 WAR becomes
11.3 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 -5.5 WAA becomes 3.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ponson 18.3 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).
Sidney Ponson has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
