Over the course of his career,
Fergie Jenkins
pitched 4,500 innings
and made 1,010 plate appearances.
Jenkins was worth 79.4 Wins Above Replacement
(77.4 as a pitcher and 2.0 as a hitter)
and 44.3 Wins Above Average
(42.3 as a pitcher and 2.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 79.4 WAR becomes
80.1 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 44.3 WAA becomes 44.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Jenkins 156.0 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).
Fergie Jenkins has a Hall Rating of 154,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
