Over the course of his career,
Jack Billingham
pitched 2,231 innings
and made 656 plate appearances.
Billingham
was worth
7.6 Wins Above Replacement
(10.1 as a pitcher and -2.6 as a hitter)
and -11.6 Wins Above Average
(-9.1 as a pitcher and -2.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.6 WAR becomes
8.1 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 -11.6 WAA becomes 3.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Billingham 14.1 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).
Jack Billingham has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
