Over the course of his career,
Johnny Lanning
pitched 1,071 innings
and made 357 plate appearances.
Lanning
was worth
8.7 Wins Above Replacement
(9.2 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and -0.3 Wins Above Average
(0.2 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.7 WAR becomes
9.6 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 -0.3 WAA becomes 3.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lanning 16.3 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).
Johnny Lanning has a Hall Rating of
15,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
