Over the course of his career,
Pete Smith
pitched 1,025 innings
and made 337 plate appearances.
Smith
was worth
5.0 Wins Above Replacement
(5.2 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -3.4 Wins Above Average
(-3.1 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.0 WAR becomes
4.9 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 -3.4 WAA becomes 3.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Smith 11.1 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).
Pete Smith has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
