Over the course of his career,
Dwight Gooden
pitched 2,800 innings
and made 849 plate appearances.
Gooden
was worth
53.0 Wins Above Replacement
(48.2 as a pitcher and 4.8 as a hitter)
and 28.8 Wins Above Average
(24.0 as a pitcher and 4.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 53.0 WAR becomes
52.8 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 28.8 WAA becomes 27.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gooden 102.7 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).
Dwight Gooden has a Hall Rating of
96,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
