Over the course of his career,
Tony Cloninger
pitched 1,767 innings
and made 673 plate appearances.
Cloninger
was worth
4.9 Wins Above Replacement
(2.1 as a pitcher and 2.9 as a hitter)
and -11.4 Wins Above Average
(-14.2 as a pitcher and 2.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.9 WAR becomes
5.0 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 -11.4 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cloninger 5.8 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).
Tony Cloninger has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
