Over the course of his career,
Charlie Ferguson
pitched 1,514 innings
and made 1,078 plate appearances.
Ferguson
was worth
31.6 Wins Above Replacement
(25.6 as a pitcher and 6.0 as a hitter)
and 18.6 Wins Above Average
(13.5 as a pitcher and 5.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 31.6 WAR becomes
27.9 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 18.6 WAA becomes 16.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ferguson 58.1 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).
Charlie Ferguson has a Hall Rating of
55,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
