Over the course of his career,
Mordecai Brown
pitched 3,163 innings
and made 1,239 plate appearances.
Brown
was worth
58.4 Wins Above Replacement
(57.3 as a pitcher and 1.1 as a hitter)
and 35.2 Wins Above Average
(34.2 as a pitcher and 1.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 58.4 WAR becomes
61.5 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 35.2 WAA becomes 37.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Brown 128.1 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).
Mordecai Brown has a Hall Rating of
120,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
