Over the course of his career,
Al Orth
pitched 3,354 innings
and made 1,792 plate appearances.
Orth
was worth
51.3 Wins Above Replacement
(43.8 as a pitcher and 7.5 as a hitter)
and 20.8 Wins Above Average
(14.5 as a pitcher and 6.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 51.3 WAR becomes
52.6 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 20.8 WAA becomes 23.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Orth 94.2 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).
Al Orth has a Hall Rating of
89,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
