Over the course of his career,
Luther Farrell
pitched 752 innings
and made 758 plate appearances.
Farrell
was worth
11.8 Wins Above Replacement
(6.6 as a pitcher and 5.2 as a hitter)
and 4.2 Wins Above Average
(0.3 as a pitcher and 4.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.8 WAR becomes
16.3 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 4.2 WAA becomes 8.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Farrell 31.6 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).
Luther Farrell has a Hall Rating of
30,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
