Over the course of his career,
Cory Lidle
pitched 1,322 innings
and made 200 plate appearances.
Lidle
was worth
10.8 Wins Above Replacement
(10.6 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -0.8 Wins Above Average
(-1.0 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.8 WAR becomes
10.9 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 -0.8 WAA becomes 4.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lidle 18.5 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).
Cory Lidle has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
