Over the course of his career,
Dave Thomas
made 1,594 plate appearances
and pitched 3 innings.
Thomas
was worth
2.4 Wins Above Replacement
(2.6 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher)
and -2.5 Wins Above Average
(-2.2 as a hitter and -0.3 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.4 WAR becomes
5.7 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 -2.5 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thomas 6.6 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).
Dave Thomas has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
