Over the course of his career,
Neck Stanley
pitched 873 innings
and made 338 plate appearances.
Stanley
was worth
3.4 Wins Above Replacement
(4.9 as a pitcher and -1.4 as a hitter)
and -3.3 Wins Above Average
(-1.9 as a pitcher and -1.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.4 WAR becomes
1.0 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 -3.3 WAA becomes 5.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Stanley 11.1 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).
Neck Stanley has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
