Over the course of his career,
Tricky Nichols
pitched 881 innings
and made 472 plate appearances.
Nichols
was worth
-3.9 Wins Above Replacement
(-2.1 as a pitcher and -1.7 as a hitter)
and -10.3 Wins Above Average
(-8.5 as a pitcher and -1.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -3.9 WAR becomes
-4.7 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 -10.3 WAA becomes 0.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Nichols -3.1 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).
Tricky Nichols has a Hall Rating of
-3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
