Over the course of his career,
Jim Devlin
pitched 1,405 innings
and made 1,202 plate appearances.
Devlin
was worth
32.9 Wins Above Replacement
(30.2 as a pitcher and 2.7 as a hitter)
and 20.4 Wins Above Average
(19.4 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 32.9 WAR becomes
28.6 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 20.4 WAA becomes 18.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Devlin 61.7 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).
Jim Devlin has a Hall Rating of
58,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
