Over the course of his career,
Cowboy Jones
pitched 526 innings
and made 224 plate appearances.
Jones
was worth
1.1 Wins Above Replacement
(1.9 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter)
and -3.4 Wins Above Average
(-2.7 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.1 WAR becomes
1.1 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 -3.4 WAA becomes 0.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Jones 1.3 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).
Cowboy Jones has a Hall Rating of
1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
