Over the course of his career,
Al Nipper
pitched 797 innings
and made 25 plate appearances.
Nipper
was worth
5.4 Wins Above Replacement
(5.5 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and -1.6 Wins Above Average
(-1.5 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.4 WAR becomes
5.5 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 -1.6 WAA becomes 2.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Nipper 10.5 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).
Al Nipper has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
