Radbourn
was worth
75.4 Wins Above Replacement
(73.2 as a pitcher and 2.2 as a hitter)
and 37.9 Wins Above Average
(37.3 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 75.4 WAR becomes
62.0 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 37.9 WAA becomes 34.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Radbourn 123.9 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).
Old Hoss Radbourn has a Hall Rating of
116,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
