Over the course of his career,
Vic Willis
pitched 3,996 innings
and made 1,623 plate appearances.
Willis was worth 59.2 Wins Above Replacement
(62.7 as a pitcher and -3.5 as a hitter)
and 31.1 Wins Above Average
(34.6 as a pitcher and -3.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 59.2 WAR becomes
60.0 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 31.1 WAA becomes 37.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Willis 123.7 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).
Vic Willis has a Hall Rating of 122,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
