Over the course of his career,
Juan Marichal
pitched 3,507 innings
and made 1,342 plate appearances.
Marichal was worth 59.5 Wins Above Replacement
(58.2 as a pitcher and 1.3 as a hitter)
and 31.1 Wins Above Average
(30.0 as a pitcher and 1.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 59.5 WAR becomes
59.8 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 31.1 WAA becomes 33.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Marichal 115.6 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).
Juan Marichal has a Hall Rating of 114,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
