Over the course of his career,
Red Faber
pitched 4,086 innings
and made 1,553 plate appearances.
Faber was worth 58.4 Wins Above Replacement
(61.9 as a pitcher and -3.5 as a hitter)
and 25.1 Wins Above Average
(28.6 as a pitcher and -3.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 58.4 WAR becomes
60.7 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 25.1 WAA becomes 32.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Faber 116.3 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).
Red Faber has a Hall Rating of 115,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
