Over the course of his career,
Jim Bagby
pitched 1,666 innings
and made 663 plate appearances.
Bagby
was worth
10.3 Wins Above Replacement
(8.9 as a pitcher and 1.4 as a hitter)
and -3.2 Wins Above Average
(-4.6 as a pitcher and 1.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.3 WAR becomes
10.7 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 -3.2 WAA becomes 2.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Bagby 14.8 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).
Jim Bagby has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
