Over the course of his career,
Tug McGraw
pitched 1,514 innings
and made 247 plate appearances.
McGraw
was worth
21.9 Wins Above Replacement
(21.0 as a pitcher and 0.8 as a hitter)
and 6.5 Wins Above Average
(5.7 as a pitcher and 0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.9 WAR becomes
27.0 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 6.5 WAA becomes 13.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McGraw 51.3 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).
Tug McGraw has a Hall Rating of
48,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
