Over the course of his career,
Doc McJames
pitched 1,361 innings
and made 558 plate appearances.
McJames
was worth
11.4 Wins Above Replacement
(14.9 as a pitcher and -3.5 as a hitter)
and -0.2 Wins Above Average
(3.2 as a pitcher and -3.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.4 WAR becomes
11.4 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 -0.2 WAA becomes 5.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McJames 22.1 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).
Doc McJames has a Hall Rating of
20,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
