Over the course of his career,
Gene Nelson
pitched 1,080 innings
and made 1 plate appearances.
Nelson
was worth
7.3 Wins Above Replacement
(7.4 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and -2.2 Wins Above Average
(-2.1 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.3 WAR becomes
8.3 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 -2.2 WAA becomes 3.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Nelson 15.0 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).
Gene Nelson has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
