Over the course of his career,
Dennis Eckersley
pitched 3,285 innings
and made 196 plate appearances.
Eckersley was worth 58.4 Wins Above Replacement
(58.6 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and 30.5 Wins Above Average
(30.7 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 58.4 WAR becomes
62.1 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 30.5 WAA becomes 36.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Eckersley 123.5 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).
Dennis Eckersley has a Hall Rating of 122,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
