Over the course of his career,
Justin Thompson
pitched 648 innings
and made 14 plate appearances.
Thompson
was worth
12.8 Wins Above Replacement
(12.9 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and 6.5 Wins Above Average
(6.6 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.8 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 6.5 WAA becomes 6.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thompson 25.2 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).
Justin Thompson has a Hall Rating of
24,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
