Over the course of his career,
Dustin McGowan
pitched 650 innings
and made 29 plate appearances.
McGowan
was worth
1.5 Wins Above Replacement
(1.9 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -4.3 Wins Above Average
(-4.1 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.5 WAR becomes
1.6 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 -4.3 WAA becomes 1.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McGowan 3.8 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).
Dustin McGowan has a Hall Rating of
4,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
