Over the course of his career,
Jerry Reuss
pitched 3,669 innings
and made 1,195 plate appearances.
Reuss
was worth
35.0 Wins Above Replacement
(32.9 as a pitcher and 2.3 as a hitter)
and 3.5 Wins Above Average
(1.4 as a pitcher and 2.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 35.0 WAR becomes
37.3 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 3.5 WAA becomes 16.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Reuss 67.4 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).
Jerry Reuss has a Hall Rating of
63,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
