Over the course of his career,
Al Mays
pitched 1,251 innings
and made 574 plate appearances.
Mays
was worth
2.3 Wins Above Replacement
(3.6 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter)
and -3.7 Wins Above Average
(-2.4 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.3 WAR becomes
1.6 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 -3.7 WAA becomes 0.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mays 2.7 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).
Al Mays has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
