Over the course of his career,
Dazzy Vance
pitched 2,967 innings
and made 1,114 plate appearances.
Vance was worth 58.0 Wins Above Replacement
(60.5 as a pitcher and -2.5 as a hitter)
and 36.4 Wins Above Average
(38.9 as a pitcher and -2.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 58.0 WAR becomes
59.0 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 36.4 WAA becomes 42.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Vance 130.4 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).
Dazzy Vance has a Hall Rating of 129,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
