Over the course of his career,
Max Lanier
pitched 1,619 innings
and made 599 plate appearances.
Lanier
was worth
30.3 Wins Above Replacement
(30.4 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and 15.1 Wins Above Average
(15.4 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 30.3 WAR becomes
31.5 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 15.1 WAA becomes 17.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lanier 63.2 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).
Max Lanier has a Hall Rating of
59,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
