Over the course of his career,
Otto Hess
pitched 1,414 innings
and made 762 plate appearances.
Hess
was worth
7.9 Wins Above Replacement
(7.9 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -4.8 Wins Above Average
(-4.0 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.9 WAR becomes
7.9 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 -4.8 WAA becomes 2.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hess 12.5 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).
Otto Hess has a Hall Rating of
12,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
