Don Drysdale
pitched 3,432 innings
and made 1,309 plate appearances.
Drysdale
was worth
67.1 Wins Above Replacement
(61.4 as a pitcher and 5.8 as a hitter)
and 34.4 Wins Above Average
(28.7 as a pitcher and 5.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 67.1 WAR becomes
68.3 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 34.4 WAA becomes 30.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Drysdale 122.4 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).
Don Drysdale has a Hall Rating of
115,
making him a member of the Hall of Stats.
