Over the course of his career,
Reb Russell
pitched 1,291 innings
and made 1,063 plate appearances.
Russell
was worth
27.8 Wins Above Replacement
(22.4 as a pitcher and 5.4 as a hitter)
and 13.8 Wins Above Average
(10.4 as a pitcher and 3.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 27.8 WAR becomes
29.9 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 13.8 WAA becomes 15.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Russell 56.9 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).
Reb Russell has a Hall Rating of
53,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
