Over the course of his career,
Duster Mails
pitched 516 innings
and made 195 plate appearances.
Mails
was worth
4.2 Wins Above Replacement
(5.2 as a pitcher and -1.0 as a hitter)
and -0.7 Wins Above Average
(0.4 as a pitcher and -1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.2 WAR becomes
4.3 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 -0.7 WAA becomes 2.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mails 8.6 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).
Duster Mails has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
