Over the course of his career,
Old Hoss Radbourn
pitched 4,527 innings
and made 2,654 plate appearances.
Radbourn was worth 70.3 Wins Above Replacement
(69.1 as a pitcher and 1.2 as a hitter)
and 38.8 Wins Above Average
(37.7 as a pitcher and 1.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 70.3 WAR becomes
57.3 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 38.8 WAA becomes 32.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Radbourn 112.8 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).
Old Hoss Radbourn has a Hall Rating of 111,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
