Over the course of his career,
Wade Blasingame
pitched 863 innings
and made 305 plate appearances.
Blasingame
was worth
-1.6 Wins Above Replacement
(-3.3 as a pitcher and 1.7 as a hitter)
and -9.3 Wins Above Average
(-11.1 as a pitcher and 1.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.6 WAR becomes
-2.2 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 -9.3 WAA becomes 0.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blasingame -0.9 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).
Wade Blasingame has a Hall Rating of
-1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
