Over the course of his career,
Tony Mullane
pitched 4,531 innings
and made 2,971 plate appearances.
Mullane was worth 61.5 Wins Above Replacement
(55.1 as a pitcher and 6.4 as a hitter)
and 38.2 Wins Above Average
(33.0 as a pitcher and 5.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 61.5 WAR becomes
53.1 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 38.2 WAA becomes 30.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mullane 104.1 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).
Tony Mullane has a Hall Rating of 103,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
