Over the course of his career,
Red Donahue
pitched 2,966 innings
and made 1,240 plate appearances.
Donahue
was worth
22.9 Wins Above Replacement
(30.1 as a pitcher and -7.2 as a hitter)
and -3.0 Wins Above Average
(4.4 as a pitcher and -7.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 22.9 WAR becomes
22.6 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 -3.0 WAA becomes 12.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Donahue 44.7 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).
Red Donahue has a Hall Rating of
42,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
