Over the course of his career,
Bobby Witt
pitched 2,465 innings
and made 73 plate appearances.
Witt
was worth
14.4 Wins Above Replacement
(14.7 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -8.5 Wins Above Average
(-8.2 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.4 WAR becomes
14.8 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 -8.5 WAA becomes 3.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Witt 21.8 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).
Bobby Witt has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
