Over the course of his career,
R.A. Dickey
pitched 2,073 innings
and made 306 plate appearances.
Dickey
was worth
23.7 Wins Above Replacement
(23.1 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter)
and 5.5 Wins Above Average
(5.0 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 23.7 WAR becomes
24.0 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 5.5 WAA becomes 9.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Dickey 41.3 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).
R.A. Dickey has a Hall Rating of
39,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
