Over the course of his career,
Webster McDonald
pitched 1,117 innings
and made 475 plate appearances.
McDonald
was worth
21.4 Wins Above Replacement
(20.9 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter)
and 12.3 Wins Above Average
(11.9 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.4 WAR becomes
22.8 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 12.3 WAA becomes 13.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McDonald 46.9 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).
Webster McDonald has a Hall Rating of
44,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
