Over the course of his career,
Bruce Ruffin
pitched 1,268 innings
and made 341 plate appearances.
Ruffin
was worth
8.2 Wins Above Replacement
(9.8 as a pitcher and -1.5 as a hitter)
and -2.7 Wins Above Average
(-1.3 as a pitcher and -1.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.2 WAR becomes
10.1 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 -2.7 WAA becomes 7.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ruffin 23.8 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).
Bruce Ruffin has a Hall Rating of
22,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
