Over the course of his career,
Jim Whitney
pitched 3,496 innings
and made 2,306 plate appearances.
Whitney
was worth
56.1 Wins Above Replacement
(47.5 as a pitcher and 8.5 as a hitter)
and 25.3 Wins Above Average
(18.8 as a pitcher and 6.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 56.1 WAR becomes
49.7 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 25.3 WAA becomes 24.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Whitney 94.3 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).
Jim Whitney has a Hall Rating of
89,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
