Over the course of his career,
Glendon Rusch
pitched 1,477 innings
and made 382 plate appearances.
Rusch
was worth
5.4 Wins Above Replacement
(5.4 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and -7.0 Wins Above Average
(-6.9 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.4 WAR becomes
5.3 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 -7.0 WAA becomes 3.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rusch 12.0 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).
Glendon Rusch has a Hall Rating of
11,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
