Over the course of his career,
Lee Richmond
pitched 1,583 innings
and made 1,064 plate appearances.
Richmond
was worth
11.7 Wins Above Replacement
(11.3 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter)
and -2.7 Wins Above Average
(-2.0 as a pitcher and -0.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.7 WAR becomes
9.7 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 -2.7 WAA becomes 2.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Richmond 14.9 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).
Lee Richmond has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
