Over the course of his career,
Walt Masterson
pitched 1,649 innings
and made 555 plate appearances.
Masterson
was worth
9.5 Wins Above Replacement
(10.9 as a pitcher and -1.5 as a hitter)
and -3.1 Wins Above Average
(-1.5 as a pitcher and -1.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.5 WAR becomes
9.5 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 -3.1 WAA becomes 8.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Masterson 24.6 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).
Walt Masterson has a Hall Rating of
23,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
