Over the course of his career,
Jimmy Walsh
made 1,738 plate appearances
and pitched 2 innings.
Walsh
was worth
3.8 Wins Above Replacement
(4.1 as a hitter and -0.4 as a pitcher)
and -0.2 Wins Above Average
(0.3 as a hitter and -0.4 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.8 WAR becomes
3.7 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 -0.2 WAA becomes 1.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Walsh 6.8 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).
Jimmy Walsh has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
