Over the course of his career,
Bucky Walters
pitched 3,103 innings
and made 2,149 plate appearances.
Walters was worth 52.0 Wins Above Replacement
(44.3 as a pitcher and 7.7 as a hitter)
and 25.5 Wins Above Average
(20.3 as a pitcher and 5.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 52.0 WAR becomes
52.7 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 25.5 WAA becomes 24.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Walters 93.8 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 93,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
