Over the course of his career,
Rube Marquard
pitched 3,305 innings
and made 1,196 plate appearances.
Marquard was worth 29.1 Wins Above Replacement
(31.5 as a pitcher and -2.4 as a hitter)
and 6.5 Wins Above Average
(8.7 as a pitcher and -2.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 29.1 WAR becomes
30.7 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 6.5 WAA becomes 19.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Marquard 64.1 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).
Rube Marquard has a Hall Rating of 63,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
