Over the course of his career,
Tom Zachary
pitched 3,133 innings
and made 1,233 plate appearances.
Zachary
was worth
39.9 Wins Above Replacement
(37.5 as a pitcher and 2.4 as a hitter)
and 11.2 Wins Above Average
(8.8 as a pitcher and 2.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 39.9 WAR becomes
41.6 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 11.2 WAA becomes 15.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Zachary 70.1 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).
Tom Zachary has a Hall Rating of
66,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
