Over the course of his career,
Rudy May
pitched 2,622 innings
and made 383 plate appearances.
May
was worth
20.3 Wins Above Replacement
(20.7 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -2.6 Wins Above Average
(-2.2 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.3 WAR becomes
21.5 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 -2.6 WAA becomes 9.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives May 38.2 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).
Rudy May has a Hall Rating of
36,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
