Over the course of his career,
Orval Grove
pitched 1,176 innings
and made 429 plate appearances.
Grove
was worth
1.7 Wins Above Replacement
(2.5 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter)
and -7.0 Wins Above Average
(-6.2 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.7 WAR becomes
1.5 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 -7.0 WAA becomes 0.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Grove 3.1 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).
Orval Grove has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
