Over the course of his career,
Ray Benge
pitched 1,876 innings
and made 706 plate appearances.
Benge
was worth
13.3 Wins Above Replacement
(14.9 as a pitcher and -1.6 as a hitter)
and -1.4 Wins Above Average
(0.2 as a pitcher and -1.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 13.3 WAR becomes
13.9 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 -1.4 WAA becomes 7.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Benge 26.7 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).
Ray Benge has a Hall Rating of
25,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
