Over the course of his career,
Oscar Charleston
made 3,919 plate appearances
and pitched 80 innings.
Charleston
was worth
48.5 Wins Above Replacement
(48.6 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher)
and 35.5 Wins Above Average
(36.5 as a hitter and -1.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.5 WAR becomes
79.2 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 35.5 WAA becomes 36.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Charleston 145.6 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).
Oscar Charleston has a Hall Rating of
137,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
