Over the course of his career,
Dock Ellis
pitched 2,128 innings
and made 560 plate appearances.
Ellis
was worth
14.3 Wins Above Replacement
(15.0 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and -4.5 Wins Above Average
(-3.7 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.3 WAR becomes
14.6 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 -4.5 WAA becomes 5.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ellis 24.3 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).
Dock Ellis has a Hall Rating of
23,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
