Over the course of his career,
Elmer Stricklett
pitched 764 innings
and made 300 plate appearances.
Stricklett
was worth
4.0 Wins Above Replacement
(3.8 as a pitcher and 0.3 as a hitter)
and -2.3 Wins Above Average
(-2.5 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.0 WAR becomes
4.2 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 -2.3 WAA becomes 0.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Stricklett 5.3 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).
Elmer Stricklett has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
