Over the course of his career,
Wilbur Wood
pitched 2,684 innings
and made 381 plate appearances.
Wood
was worth
50.0 Wins Above Replacement
(52.2 as a pitcher and -2.1 as a hitter)
and 23.9 Wins Above Average
(26.0 as a pitcher and -2.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 50.0 WAR becomes
52.8 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 23.9 WAA becomes 31.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wood 108.7 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).
Wilbur Wood has a Hall Rating of
101,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats—but one who sits very close to the borderline.
