Over the course of his career,
Jack Quinn
pitched 3,926 innings
and made 1,509 plate appearances.
Quinn was worth 52.5 Wins Above Replacement
(53.5 as a pitcher and -1.0 as a hitter)
and 24.0 Wins Above Average
(25.0 as a pitcher and -0.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 52.5 WAR becomes
56.3 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 24.0 WAA becomes 30.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Quinn 107.8 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).
Jack Quinn has a Hall Rating of 106,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
