Over the course of his career,
Lefty Gomez
pitched 2,502 innings
and made 1,023 plate appearances.
Gomez
was worth
38.7 Wins Above Replacement
(43.2 as a pitcher and -4.5 as a hitter)
and 15.1 Wins Above Average
(19.6 as a pitcher and -4.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.7 WAR becomes
39.5 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 15.1 WAA becomes 23.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Gomez 81.7 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).
Lefty Gomez has a Hall Rating of
77,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
