Over the course of his career,
Larry Jackson
pitched 3,262 innings
and made 1,192 plate appearances.
Jackson was worth 48.3 Wins Above Replacement
(48.7 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter)
and 20.9 Wins Above Average
(21.3 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.3 WAR becomes
49.5 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 20.9 WAA becomes 23.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Jackson 88.5 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).
Larry Jackson has a Hall Rating of 87,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
