Over the course of his career,
Rube Melton
pitched 704 innings
and made 228 plate appearances.
Melton
was worth
5.8 Wins Above Replacement
(6.92 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter)
and -0.1 Wins Above Average
(1.0961 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.8 WAR becomes
6.1 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 -0.1 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Melton 11.7 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 Melton has a Hall Rating of
11,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
