Over the course of his career,
George Derby
pitched 964 innings
and made 455 plate appearances.
Derby
was worth
4.8 Wins Above Replacement
(6.7 as a pitcher and -1.9 as a hitter)
and -3.5 Wins Above Average
(-1.5 as a pitcher and -2.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.8 WAR becomes
2.7 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 -3.5 WAA becomes 3.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Derby 9.0 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).
George Derby has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
