Over the course of his career,
Nick Blackburn
pitched 818 innings
and made 12 plate appearances.
Blackburn
was worth
3.1 Wins Above Replacement
(3.2 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -4.7 Wins Above Average
(-4.6 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.1 WAR becomes
2.9 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 -4.7 WAA becomes 1.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blackburn 6.1 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).
Nick Blackburn has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
