Over the course of his career,
Steve Carlton
pitched 5,217 innings
and made 1,881 plate appearances.
Carlton was worth 84.6 Wins Above Replacement
(78.6 as a pitcher and 6.0 as a hitter)
and 46.1 Wins Above Average
(40.0 as a pitcher and 6.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 84.6 WAR becomes
87.6 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 46.1 WAA becomes 46.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Carlton 165.6 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).
Steve Carlton has a Hall Rating of 163,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
