Over the course of his career,
Jim Lonborg
pitched 2,464 innings
and made 902 plate appearances.
Lonborg
was worth
14.1 Wins Above Replacement
(14.7 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and -6.6 Wins Above Average
(-6.3 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.1 WAR becomes
14.5 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 -6.6 WAA becomes 7.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lonborg 27.5 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 Lonborg has a Hall Rating of
26,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
