Over the course of his career,
Wayne Simpson
pitched 636 innings
and made 169 plate appearances.
Simpson
was worth
-1.0 Wins Above Replacement
(0.1 as a pitcher and -1.1 as a hitter)
and -6.8 Wins Above Average
(-5.7 as a pitcher and -1.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.0 WAR becomes
-1.0 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 -6.8 WAA becomes 1.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Simpson 2.1 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).
Wayne Simpson has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
