Over the course of his career,
Les Lancaster
pitched 703 innings
and made 148 plate appearances.
Lancaster
was worth
6.5 Wins Above Replacement
(7.1 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter)
and -0.4 Wins Above Average
(0.2 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.5 WAR becomes
7.6 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 -0.4 WAA becomes 4.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lancaster 14.8 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).
Les Lancaster has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
