Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Sal Maglie pitched 1,723 innings and made 645 plate appearances. Maglie was worth 30.6 Wins Above Replacement (34.2 as a pitcher and -3.7 as a hitter) and 13.8 Wins Above Average (17.4 as a pitcher and -3.7 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 30.6 WAR becomes 31.8 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 13.8 WAA becomes 18.8 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Maglie 65.6 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).

Sal Maglie has a Hall Rating of 62, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
