Over the course of his career,
Pop Smith
made 4,623 plate appearances
and pitched 5 innings.
Smith
was worth
13.3 Wins Above Replacement
(13.3 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher)
and -0.7 Wins Above Average
(-0.5 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 13.3 WAR becomes
14.8 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 7.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 29.0 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).
Pop Smith has a Hall Rating of
27,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
