Over the course of his career,
Bucky Walters
pitched 3,103 innings
and made 2,147 plate appearances.
Walters
was worth
53.5 Wins Above Replacement
(46.5 as a pitcher and 7.1 as a hitter)
and 24.5 Wins Above Average
(20.4 as a pitcher and 4.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 53.5 WAR becomes
54.2 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 24.5 WAA becomes 24.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Walters 98.5 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).
Bucky Walters has a Hall Rating of
92,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
