Over the course of his career,
Whitey Lockman
made 6,592 plate appearances.
Lockman
was worth
19.2 Wins Above Replacement
and -5.3 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 19.2 WAR becomes
19.8 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 -5.3 WAA becomes 7.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lockman 32.4 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).
Whitey Lockman has a Hall Rating of
30,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
