Over the course of his career,
Rick Langford
pitched 1,491 innings
and made 6 plate appearances.
Langford
was worth
10.8 Wins Above Replacement
(10.8 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and -2.3 Wins Above Average
(-2.4 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.8 WAR becomes
11.6 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 -2.3 WAA becomes 3.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Langford 18.6 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).
Rick Langford has a Hall Rating of
18,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
