Over the course of his career,
Claude Osteen
pitched 3,460 innings
and made 1,220 plate appearances.
Osteen
was worth
41.4 Wins Above Replacement
(37.1 as a pitcher and 4.4 as a hitter)
and 11.2 Wins Above Average
(6.9 as a pitcher and 4.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 41.4 WAR becomes
41.8 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 11.2 WAA becomes 13.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Osteen 65.2 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).
Claude Osteen has a Hall Rating of
61,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
