Over the course of his career,
Russ Ford
pitched 1,487 innings
and made 571 plate appearances.
Ford
was worth
33.9 Wins Above Replacement
(32.7 as a pitcher and 1.2 as a hitter)
and 22.3 Wins Above Average
(21.1 as a pitcher and 1.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 33.9 WAR becomes
34.7 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 22.3 WAA becomes 23.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ford 77.2 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).
Russ Ford has a Hall Rating of
73,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
