Over the course of his career,
Al Smith
pitched 1,662 innings
and made 609 plate appearances.
Smith
was worth
7.5 Wins Above Replacement
(6.0 as a pitcher and 1.6 as a hitter)
and -5.3 Wins Above Average
(-6.9 as a pitcher and 1.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.5 WAR becomes
7.7 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 -5.3 WAA becomes 3.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 13.5 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).
Al Smith has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
