Over the course of his career,
Cal McLish
pitched 1,609 innings
and made 565 plate appearances.
McLish
was worth
8.1 Wins Above Replacement
(7.6 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter)
and -5.7 Wins Above Average
(-6.1 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.1 WAR becomes
8.5 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 -5.7 WAA becomes 3.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McLish 15.2 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).
Cal McLish has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
