Over the course of his career,
Charlie Smith
pitched 1,344 innings
and made 492 plate appearances.
Smith
was worth
8.5 Wins Above Replacement
(9.7 as a pitcher and -1.2 as a hitter)
and -3.2 Wins Above Average
(-2.0 as a pitcher and -1.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.5 WAR becomes
8.7 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 -3.2 WAA becomes 3.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 14.9 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).
Charlie Smith has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
