Over the course of his career,
Dutch Ruether
pitched 2,124 innings
and made 1,074 plate appearances.
Ruether
was worth
29.2 Wins Above Replacement
(23.4 as a pitcher and 5.7 as a hitter)
and 10.7 Wins Above Average
(5.6 as a pitcher and 5.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.2 WAR becomes
30.1 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 10.7 WAA becomes 9.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ruether 47.2 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).
Dutch Ruether has a Hall Rating of
44,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
