Over the course of his career,
Boom-Boom Beck
pitched 1,032 innings
and made 350 plate appearances.
Beck
was worth
4.5 Wins Above Replacement
(4.5 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -4.5 Wins Above Average
(-4.3 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.5 WAR becomes
4.6 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 -4.5 WAA becomes 1.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Beck 7.3 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).
Boom-Boom Beck has a Hall Rating of
7,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
