Over the course of his career,
Ryan Vogelsong
pitched 1,190 innings
and made 374 plate appearances.
Vogelsong
was worth
1.4 Wins Above Replacement
(0.6 as a pitcher and 0.7 as a hitter)
and -8.4 Wins Above Average
(-9.1 as a pitcher and 0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.4 WAR becomes
1.0 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 -8.4 WAA becomes 1.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Vogelsong 4.1 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).
Ryan Vogelsong has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
