Over the course of his career,
Ed Reulbach
pitched 2,632 innings
and made 985 plate appearances.
Reulbach
was worth
35.7 Wins Above Replacement
(38.1 as a pitcher and -2.5 as a hitter)
and 16.2 Wins Above Average
(18.6 as a pitcher and -2.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 35.7 WAR becomes
37.0 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 16.2 WAA becomes 23.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Reulbach 78.9 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).
Ed Reulbach has a Hall Rating of
74,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
