Over the course of his career,
Luther McDonald
pitched 526 innings
and made 218 plate appearances.
McDonald
was worth
4.7 Wins Above Replacement
(4.4 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and 0.2 Wins Above Average
(0.1 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.7 WAR becomes
5.0 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 2.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McDonald 10.2 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).
Luther McDonald has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
