Over the course of his career,
Ewell Blackwell
pitched 1,321 innings
and made 483 plate appearances.
Blackwell
was worth
26.6 Wins Above Replacement
(27.1 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and 13.6 Wins Above Average
(14.0 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 26.6 WAR becomes
27.6 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 13.6 WAA becomes 16.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blackwell 57.5 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).
Ewell Blackwell has a Hall Rating of
54,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
