Over the course of his career,
Neal Heaton
pitched 1,507 innings
and made 208 plate appearances.
Heaton
was worth
8.4 Wins Above Replacement
(8.0 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter)
and -4.5 Wins Above Average
(-5.1 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.4 WAR becomes
8.7 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 -4.5 WAA becomes 2.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Heaton 12.3 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).
Neal Heaton has a Hall Rating of
12,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
