Over the course of his career,
Tommy Thomas
pitched 2,176 innings
and made 823 plate appearances.
Thomas
was worth
25.1 Wins Above Replacement
(25.8 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and 4.2 Wins Above Average
(4.8 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 25.1 WAR becomes
25.9 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 4.2 WAA becomes 13.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thomas 50.4 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).
Tommy Thomas has a Hall Rating of
47,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
