Over the course of his career,
Lefty Williams
pitched 1,186 innings
and made 449 plate appearances.
Williams
was worth
12.3 Wins Above Replacement
(13.2 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter)
and 1.2 Wins Above Average
(2.0 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.3 WAR becomes
13.4 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 1.2 WAA becomes 4.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Williams 22.0 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).
Lefty Williams has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
