Over the course of his career,
Jim Hearn
pitched 1,705 innings
and made 618 plate appearances.
Hearn
was worth
15.8 Wins Above Replacement
(17.1 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter)
and -0.9 Wins Above Average
(0.4 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 15.8 WAR becomes
16.5 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 -0.9 WAA becomes 6.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hearn 28.2 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).
Jim Hearn has a Hall Rating of
26,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
