Over the course of his career,
Willie Spearman
pitched 358 innings
and made 176 plate appearances.
Spearman
was worth
1.5 Wins Above Replacement
(0.6 as a pitcher and 0.9 as a hitter)
and -1.5 Wins Above Average
(-2.3 as a pitcher and 0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.5 WAR becomes
2.0 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 -1.5 WAA becomes 0.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Spearman 2.2 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).
Willie Spearman has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
