Wes Ferrell
pitched 2,621 innings
and made 1,344 plate appearances.
Ferrell
was worth
60.1 Wins Above Replacement
(48.8 as a pitcher and 11.3 as a hitter)
and 34.0 Wins Above Average
(23.3 as a pitcher and 10.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 60.1 WAR becomes
61.7 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 34.0 WAA becomes 31.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ferrell 117.7 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).
Wes Ferrell has a Hall Rating of
110,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
