Over the course of his career,
Babe Adams
pitched 2,985 innings
and made 1,109 plate appearances.
Adams
was worth
52.7 Wins Above Replacement
(50.2 as a pitcher and 2.5 as a hitter)
and 29.9 Wins Above Average
(27.4 as a pitcher and 2.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 52.7 WAR becomes
55.2 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 29.9 WAA becomes 34.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Adams 118.0 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).
Babe Adams has a Hall Rating of
111,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
