Over the course of his career,
Larry French
pitched 3,152 innings
and made 1,198 plate appearances.
French
was worth
45.4 Wins Above Replacement
(45.0 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter)
and 18.8 Wins Above Average
(18.4 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 45.4 WAR becomes
48.3 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 18.8 WAA becomes 22.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives French 88.1 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).
Larry French has a Hall Rating of
83,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
