Over the course of his career,
Larry Biittner
made 3,443 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Biittner
was worth
-1.5 Wins Above Replacement
(-1.0 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher)
and -13.0 Wins Above Average
(-12.6 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.5 WAR becomes
-1.6 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 -13.0 WAA becomes 0.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Biittner -1.4 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).
Larry Biittner has a Hall Rating of
-1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
