Over the course of his career,
Red Ames
pitched 3,198 innings
and made 1,126 plate appearances.
Ames
was worth
24.8 Wins Above Replacement
(28.9 as a pitcher and -4.3 as a hitter)
and 0.0 Wins Above Average
(4.3 as a pitcher and -4.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 24.8 WAR becomes
26.1 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 0.0 WAA becomes 11.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ames 47.0 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).
Red Ames has a Hall Rating of
44,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
