Over the course of his career,
Chuck Finley
pitched 3,197 innings
and made 59 plate appearances.
Finley
was worth
57.8 Wins Above Replacement
(58.3 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter)
and 27.9 Wins Above Average
(28.4 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 57.8 WAR becomes
59.7 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 27.9 WAA becomes 30.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Finley 115.0 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).
Chuck Finley has a Hall Rating of
108,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
