Over the course of his career,
Alex Ferguson
pitched 1,241 innings
and made 455 plate appearances.
Ferguson
was worth
1.9 Wins Above Replacement
(6.5 as a pitcher and -4.5 as a hitter)
and -9.9 Wins Above Average
(-5.3 as a pitcher and -4.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.9 WAR becomes
2.0 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 -9.9 WAA becomes 3.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ferguson 8.8 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).
Alex Ferguson has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
