Over the course of his career,
Ed Lynch
pitched 940 innings
and made 280 plate appearances.
Lynch
was worth
6.6 Wins Above Replacement
(7.5 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter)
and -2.1 Wins Above Average
(-1.0 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.6 WAR becomes
7.9 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 -2.1 WAA becomes 4.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lynch 16.0 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).
Ed Lynch has a Hall Rating of
15,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
