Over the course of his career,
Dick Ellsworth
pitched 2,155 innings
and made 774 plate appearances.
Ellsworth
was worth
20.0 Wins Above Replacement
(23.3 as a pitcher and -3.2 as a hitter)
and -0.2 Wins Above Average
(2.9 as a pitcher and -3.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.0 WAR becomes
20.2 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 -0.2 WAA becomes 10.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ellsworth 39.8 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).
Dick Ellsworth has a Hall Rating of
37,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
