Over the course of his career,
Urban Shocker
pitched 2,680 innings
and made 1,049 plate appearances.
Shocker
was worth
58.7 Wins Above Replacement
(54.85 as a pitcher and 3.89 as a hitter)
and 32.9 Wins Above Average
(28.9822 as a pitcher and 3.89 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 58.7 WAR becomes
62.2 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 32.9 WAA becomes 30.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Shocker 116.2 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).
Urban Shocker has a Hall Rating of
108,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
