Over the course of his career,
Mordecai Brown
pitched 3,171 innings
and made 1,240 plate appearances.
Brown
was worth
56.4 Wins Above Replacement
(55.1 as a pitcher and 1.3 as a hitter)
and 33.3 Wins Above Average
(32.0 as a pitcher and 1.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 56.4 WAR becomes
59.4 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 33.3 WAA becomes 34.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Brown 121.4 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
114,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
