Over the course of his career,
Urban Shocker
pitched 2,680 innings
and made 1,047 plate appearances.
Shocker was worth 54.9 Wins Above Replacement
(50.9 as a pitcher and 4.0 as a hitter)
and 33.1 Wins Above Average
(29.2 as a pitcher and 3.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.9 WAR becomes
58.2 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 33.1 WAA becomes 30.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Shocker 109.6 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.
