Over the course of his career,
Bill Burns
pitched 717 innings
and made 268 plate appearances.
Burns
was worth
4.0 Wins Above Replacement
(3.4 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter)
and -2.1 Wins Above Average
(-2.5 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.0 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 -2.1 WAA becomes 1.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Burns 6.7 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).
Bill Burns has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
