Over the course of his career,
Dutch Leonard
pitched 3,218 innings
and made 1,160 plate appearances.
Leonard
was worth
48.9 Wins Above Replacement
(51.7 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter)
and 20.2 Wins Above Average
(23.0 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.9 WAR becomes
51.3 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 20.2 WAA becomes 25.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Leonard 97.7 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).
Dutch Leonard has a Hall Rating of
92,
making him close to the Hall of Stats borderline—but still on the outside.
