Over the course of his career,
Lon Warneke
pitched 2,780 innings
and made 1,079 plate appearances.
Warneke
was worth
45.8 Wins Above Replacement
(42.1 as a pitcher and 3.7 as a hitter)
and 22.6 Wins Above Average
(18.9 as a pitcher and 3.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 45.8 WAR becomes
47.3 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 22.6 WAA becomes 21.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Warneke 86.1 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).
Lon Warneke has a Hall Rating of
81,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
