Over the course of his career,
Frank Smith
pitched 2,274 innings
and made 901 plate appearances.
Smith
was worth
21.9 Wins Above Replacement
(17.1 as a pitcher and 4.8 as a hitter)
and 3.4 Wins Above Average
(-1.3 as a pitcher and 4.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.9 WAR becomes
22.3 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 3.4 WAA becomes 6.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 34.5 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).
Frank Smith has a Hall Rating of
32,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
