Over the course of his career,
Pete Alexander
pitched 5,186 innings
and made 1,977 plate appearances.
Alexander
was worth
120.3 Wins Above Replacement
(117.0 as a pitcher and 3.1 as a hitter)
and 79.9 Wins Above Average
(77.2 as a pitcher and 3.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 120.3 WAR becomes
124.0 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 79.9 WAA becomes 80.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Alexander 266.9 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).
Pete Alexander has a Hall Rating of
248,
making him not only a member of the Hall of Stats—but one of the very best players of all time.
