Over the course of his career,
Rick Reuschel
pitched 3,548 innings
and made 1,304 plate appearances.
Reuschel was worth 66.2 Wins Above Replacement
(64.6 as a pitcher and 1.6 as a hitter)
and 40.0 Wins Above Average
(38.2 as a pitcher and 1.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 66.2 WAR becomes
68.2 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 40.0 WAA becomes 40.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Reuschel 137.4 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).
Rick Reuschel has a Hall Rating of 136,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
