Reuschel
was worth
69.6 Wins Above Replacement
(68.1 as a pitcher and 1.4 as a hitter)
and 38.9 Wins Above Average
(37.9 as a pitcher and 1.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 69.6 WAR becomes
71.5 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 38.9 WAA becomes 40.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Reuschel 144.9 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).
Rick Reuschel has a Hall Rating of
136,
