Over the course of his career,
Mike Smith
made 5,422 plate appearances
and pitched 1,210 innings.
Smith
was worth
42.7 Wins Above Replacement
(30.2 as a hitter and 12.4 as a pitcher)
and 19.6 Wins Above Average
(13.6 as a hitter and 6.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 42.7 WAR becomes
42.7 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 19.6 WAA becomes 22.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 83.0 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).
Mike Smith has a Hall Rating of
78,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
