Over the course of his career,
Joe Mays
pitched 997 innings
and made 31 plate appearances.
Mays
was worth
9.3 Wins Above Replacement
(9.2 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -0.2 Wins Above Average
(-0.5 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.3 WAR becomes
9.7 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 -0.2 WAA becomes 6.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mays 22.1 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).
Joe Mays has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
