Over the course of his career,
Tom Murphy
pitched 1,444 innings
and made 336 plate appearances.
Murphy
was worth
8.6 Wins Above Replacement
(8.7 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -4.5 Wins Above Average
(-4.3 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.6 WAR becomes
9.4 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 -4.5 WAA becomes 5.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Murphy 19.3 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).
Tom Murphy has a Hall Rating of
18,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
