Over the course of his career,
Rube Curry
pitched 1,301 innings
and made 619 plate appearances.
Curry
was worth
20.8 Wins Above Replacement
(20.7 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and 9.5 Wins Above Average
(9.8 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.8 WAR becomes
21.9 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 9.5 WAA becomes 11.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Curry 42.1 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).
Rube Curry has a Hall Rating of
40,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
