Over the course of his career,
Joe Dobson
pitched 2,170 innings
and made 822 plate appearances.
Dobson
was worth
26.2 Wins Above Replacement
(27.7 as a pitcher and -1.4 as a hitter)
and 9.6 Wins Above Average
(10.9 as a pitcher and -1.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 26.2 WAR becomes
27.5 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 9.6 WAA becomes 13.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Dobson 51.4 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).
Joe Dobson has a Hall Rating of
48,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
