Over the course of his career,
Hi Bell
pitched 663 innings
and made 200 plate appearances.
Bell
was worth
3.4 Wins Above Replacement
(4.8 as a pitcher and -1.4 as a hitter)
and -1.9 Wins Above Average
(-0.5 as a pitcher and -1.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.4 WAR becomes
4.0 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 -1.9 WAA becomes 2.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bell 8.5 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).
Hi Bell has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
