Over the course of his career,
Greg Maddux
pitched 5,008 innings
and made 1,812 plate appearances.
Maddux was worth 101.6 Wins Above Replacement
(99.4 as a pitcher and 2.2 as a hitter)
and 67.4 Wins Above Average
(65.2 as a pitcher and 2.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 101.6 WAR becomes
105.9 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 67.4 WAA becomes 68.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Maddux 222.1 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).
Greg Maddux has a Hall Rating of 219,
meaning he will not only be in the Hall of Stats when eligible—he will rate as one of the very best players of all time..
