Over the course of his career,
Kevin Tapani
pitched 2,265 innings
and made 311 plate appearances.
Tapani
was worth
29.2 Wins Above Replacement
(29.2 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and 9.4 Wins Above Average
(9.2 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.2 WAR becomes
30.2 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 9.4 WAA becomes 10.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Tapani 49.3 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).
Kevin Tapani has a Hall Rating of
46,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
