Over the course of his career,
Luis Tiant
pitched 3,486 innings
and made 570 plate appearances.
Tiant was worth 62.3 Wins Above Replacement
(61.8 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter)
and 34.9 Wins Above Average
(34.5 as a pitcher and 0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 62.3 WAR becomes
64.2 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 34.9 WAA becomes 38.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Tiant 129.6 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).
Luis Tiant has a Hall Rating of 128,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
