Over the course of his career,
Larry Corcoran
pitched 2,392 innings
and made 1,341 plate appearances.
Corcoran
was worth
25.4 Wins Above Replacement
(27.4 as a pitcher and -2.1 as a hitter)
and 5.3 Wins Above Average
(8.1 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 25.4 WAR becomes
19.5 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 5.3 WAA becomes 9.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Corcoran 36.1 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).
Larry Corcoran has a Hall Rating of
34,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
