Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Hub Pruett pitched 745 innings and made 250 plate appearances. Pruett was worth 2.3 Wins Above Replacement (2.6 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter) and -4.1 Wins Above Average (-3.8 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.3 WAR becomes 3.0 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 -4.1 WAA becomes 2.3 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Pruett 7.2 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).

Hub Pruett has a Hall Rating of 7, leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
