Over the course of his career,
Luther Taylor
pitched 1,916 innings
and made 729 plate appearances.
Taylor
was worth
12.5 Wins Above Replacement
(15.1 as a pitcher and -2.6 as a hitter)
and -2.8 Wins Above Average
(-0.1 as a pitcher and -2.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.5 WAR becomes
12.8 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 -2.8 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Taylor 18.4 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).
Luther Taylor has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
