and pitched 1 innings.
Gibson
was worth
38.5 Wins Above Replacement
(38.6 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher)
and 31.1 Wins Above Average
(31.3 as a hitter and -0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.5 WAR becomes
87.5 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 31.1 WAA becomes 36.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gibson 153.7 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).
Josh Gibson has a Hall Rating of
144,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
