Over the course of his career,
Hank O'Day
pitched 1,651 innings
and made 858 plate appearances.
O'Day
was worth
6.3 Wins Above Replacement
(8.9 as a pitcher and -2.6 as a hitter)
and -5.2 Wins Above Average
(-2.3 as a pitcher and -2.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.3 WAR becomes
4.2 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 -5.2 WAA becomes 2.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives O'Day 9.2 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).
Hank O'Day has a Hall Rating of
9,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
