Over the course of his career,
Jim Lillie
made 1,541 plate appearances
and pitched 31 innings.
Lillie
was worth
-7.2 Wins Above Replacement
(-6.3 as a hitter and -0.9 as a pitcher)
and -13.0 Wins Above Average
(-11.8 as a hitter and -1.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -7.2 WAR becomes
-8.4 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 -13.0 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lillie -8.4 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).
Jim Lillie has a Hall Rating of
-8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
