Over the course of his career,
Tommy McCarthy
made 5,739 plate appearances
and pitched 70 innings.
McCarthy
was worth
14.8 Wins Above Replacement
(16.2 as a hitter and -1.5 as a pitcher)
and -1.4 Wins Above Average
(0.2 as a hitter and -1.5 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 14.8 WAR becomes
16.2 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 -1.4 WAA becomes 7.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McCarthy 30.2 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).
Tommy McCarthy has a Hall Rating of
28,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
