Over the course of his career,
Bob Thurman
made 1,123 plate appearances
and pitched 109 innings.
Thurman
was worth
2.8 Wins Above Replacement
(4.1 as a hitter and -1.2 as a pitcher)
and -1.8 Wins Above Average
(0.2 as a hitter and -2.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.8 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 -1.8 WAA becomes 1.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Thurman 8.5 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).
Bob Thurman has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
