Over the course of his career,
Tom Hughes
pitched 2,644 innings
and made 1,050 plate appearances.
Hughes
was worth
14.6 Wins Above Replacement
(13.2 as a pitcher and 1.6 as a hitter)
and -8.7 Wins Above Average
(-10.3 as a pitcher and 1.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.6 WAR becomes
14.9 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 -8.7 WAA becomes 5.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hughes 24.6 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).
Tom Hughes has a Hall Rating of
23,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
