Over the course of his career,
Nap Rucker
pitched 2,375 innings
and made 857 plate appearances.
Rucker
was worth
48.1 Wins Above Replacement
(47.9 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter)
and 29.8 Wins Above Average
(29.7 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 48.1 WAR becomes
49.9 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 29.8 WAA becomes 32.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rucker 107.0 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).
Nap Rucker has a Hall Rating of
101,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
