Over the course of his career,
Mickey Lolich
pitched 3,638 innings
and made 1,017 plate appearances.
Lolich
was worth
48.0 Wins Above Replacement
(47.9 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter)
and 16.7 Wins Above Average
(16.6 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.0 WAR becomes
48.8 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 16.7 WAA becomes 23.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lolich 90.2 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).
Mickey Lolich has a Hall Rating of
85,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
