Over the course of his career,
Al Dark
made 7,833 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Dark
was worth
43.9 Wins Above Replacement
(44.0 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher)
and 14.4 Wins Above Average
(14.6 as a hitter and -0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 43.9 WAR becomes
45.0 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 14.4 WAA becomes 18.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Dark 77.8 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).
Al Dark has a Hall Rating of
73,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
