Over the course of his career,
Larry Dierker
pitched 2,333 innings
and made 876 plate appearances.
Dierker
was worth
31.8 Wins Above Replacement
(34.3 as a pitcher and -2.4 as a hitter)
and 11.7 Wins Above Average
(14.1 as a pitcher and -2.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 31.8 WAR becomes
32.2 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 11.7 WAA becomes 16.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Dierker 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).
Larry Dierker has a Hall Rating of
58,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
