Over the course of his career,
Blue Moon Odom
pitched 1,509 innings
and made 447 plate appearances.
Odom
was worth
5.3 Wins Above Replacement
(2.2 as a pitcher and 3.2 as a hitter)
and -8.2 Wins Above Average
(-11.1 as a pitcher and 3.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.3 WAR becomes
5.2 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 -8.2 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Odom 10.8 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).
Blue Moon Odom has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
