Over the course of his career,
Hal Chase
made 7,935 plate appearances
and pitched 0 innings.
Chase
was worth
23.0 Wins Above Replacement
(23.0 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -4.5 Wins Above Average
(-4.5 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 23.0 WAR becomes
23.7 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 5.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Chase 33.8 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).
Hal Chase has a Hall Rating of
32,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
