Over the course of his career,
Thornton Lee
pitched 2,331 innings
and made 886 plate appearances.
Lee
was worth
34.3 Wins Above Replacement
(35.0 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and 14.0 Wins Above Average
(14.9 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.3 WAR becomes
35.3 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 14.0 WAA becomes 19.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lee 70.2 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).
Thornton Lee has a Hall Rating of
66,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
