Over the course of his career,
Joe Lake
pitched 1,315 innings
and made 505 plate appearances.
Lake
was worth
6.4 Wins Above Replacement
(5.4 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter)
and -5.6 Wins Above Average
(-6.6 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.4 WAR becomes
6.6 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 -5.6 WAA becomes 0.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lake 7.3 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).
Joe Lake has a Hall Rating of
7,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
