Over the course of his career,
Red Lucas
pitched 2,540 innings
and made 1,606 plate appearances.
Lucas
was worth
44.6 Wins Above Replacement
(32.7 as a pitcher and 11.9 as a hitter)
and 23.2 Wins Above Average
(12.4 as a pitcher and 10.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 44.6 WAR becomes
45.8 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 23.2 WAA becomes 21.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lucas 83.6 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).
Red Lucas has a Hall Rating of
78,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
