Over the course of his career,
Mike Mussina
pitched 3,562 innings
and made 54 plate appearances.
Mussina was worth 78.2 Wins Above Replacement
(78.1 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter)
and 48.9 Wins Above Average
(48.9 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 78.2 WAR becomes
80.9 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 48.9 WAA becomes 49.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mussina 164.4 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).
Mike Mussina has a Hall Rating of 162,
meaning he will be in the Hall of Stats when eligible.
