Over the course of his career,
Theolic Smith
pitched 339 innings
and made 216 plate appearances.
Smith
was worth
2.4 Wins Above Replacement
(1.2 as a pitcher and 1.1 as a hitter)
and -0.3 Wins Above Average
(-1.3 as a pitcher and 0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.4 WAR becomes
4.0 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 -0.3 WAA becomes 2.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 8.3 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).
Theolic Smith has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
