Over the course of his career,
Woody Williams
pitched 2,216 innings
and made 617 plate appearances.
Williams was worth 28.1 Wins Above Replacement
(25.0 as a pitcher and 3.1 as a hitter)
and 12.4 Wins Above Average
(9.3 as a pitcher and 3.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 28.1 WAR becomes
29.5 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 12.4 WAA becomes 11.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Williams 49.6 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).
Woody Williams has a Hall Rating of 49,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
