Over the course of his career,
Sam Rice
made 10,247 plate appearances
and pitched 39 innings.
Rice was worth 48.1 Wins Above Replacement
(48.0 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher)
and 15.6 Wins Above Average
(15.7 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.1 WAR becomes
49.6 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 15.6 WAA becomes 18.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rice 80.2 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).
Sam Rice has a Hall Rating of 79,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
