Over the course of his career,
Josh Beckett
pitched 2,051 innings
and made 335 plate appearances.
Beckett
was worth
35.5 Wins Above Replacement
(35.3 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter)
and 17.4 Wins Above Average
(17.0 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 35.5 WAR becomes
35.5 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 17.4 WAA becomes 21.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Beckett 74.7 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).
Josh Beckett has a Hall Rating of
70,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
