Over the course of his career,
Buck Ross
pitched 1,365 innings
and made 501 plate appearances.
Ross
was worth
1.3 Wins Above Replacement
(3.3 as a pitcher and -2.1 as a hitter)
and -10.4 Wins Above Average
(-8.2 as a pitcher and -2.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.3 WAR becomes
1.1 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 -10.4 WAA becomes 0.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ross 2.7 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).
Buck Ross has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
