Over the course of his career,
Bucky Brandon
pitched 590 innings
and made 147 plate appearances.
Brandon
was worth
0.3 Wins Above Replacement
(0.1 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -4.6 Wins Above Average
(-4.9 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.3 WAR becomes
0.2 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 -4.6 WAA becomes 0.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Brandon 1.8 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 Brandon has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
