Over the course of his career,
Claude Willoughby
pitched 841 innings
and made 299 plate appearances.
Willoughby
was worth
-1.4 Wins Above Replacement
(0.2 as a pitcher and -1.6 as a hitter)
and -8.0 Wins Above Average
(-6.4 as a pitcher and -1.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.4 WAR becomes
-1.8 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 -8.0 WAA becomes 1.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Willoughby 1.4 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).
Claude Willoughby has a Hall Rating of
1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
