Over the course of his career,
Ted Lyons
pitched 4,158 innings
and made 1,725 plate appearances.
Lyons was worth 65.2 Wins Above Replacement
(60.7 as a pitcher and 4.5 as a hitter)
and 32.6 Wins Above Average
(28.1 as a pitcher and 4.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 65.2 WAR becomes
66.7 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 32.6 WAA becomes 34.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lyons 124.4 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).
Ted Lyons has a Hall Rating of 123,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
