Over the course of his career,
Joe McGinnity
pitched 3,441 innings
and made 1,423 plate appearances.
McGinnity was worth 54.7 Wins Above Replacement
(57.2 as a pitcher and -2.5 as a hitter)
and 29.2 Wins Above Average
(31.7 as a pitcher and -2.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.7 WAR becomes
56.2 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 29.2 WAA becomes 33.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McGinnity 113.5 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).
Joe McGinnity has a Hall Rating of 112,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
