Over the course of his career,
Del Howard
made 2,040 plate appearances
and pitched 6 innings.
Howard
was worth
1.0 Wins Above Replacement
(1.4 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher)
and -6.0 Wins Above Average
(-5.6 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.0 WAR becomes
1.1 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 -6.0 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Howard 1.1 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).
Del Howard has a Hall Rating of
1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
