Over the course of his career,
Howard Ehmke
pitched 2,820 innings
and made 1,088 plate appearances.
Ehmke
was worth
39.0 Wins Above Replacement
(39.7 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and 12.2 Wins Above Average
(12.9 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 39.0 WAR becomes
40.3 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 12.2 WAA becomes 18.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Ehmke 73.2 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).
Howard Ehmke has a Hall Rating of
69,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
