Over the course of his career,
Irv Young
pitched 1,384 innings
and made 498 plate appearances.
Young
was worth
8.6 Wins Above Replacement
(11.6 as a pitcher and -2.9 as a hitter)
and -2.9 Wins Above Average
(0.0 as a pitcher and -2.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.6 WAR becomes
8.6 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 -2.9 WAA becomes 7.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Young 21.9 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).
Irv Young has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
