Over the course of his career,
Dave Wickersham
pitched 1,123 innings
and made 362 plate appearances.
Wickersham
was worth
7.4 Wins Above Replacement
(9.9 as a pitcher and -2.5 as a hitter)
and -1.3 Wins Above Average
(1.1 as a pitcher and -2.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.4 WAR becomes
8.0 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 -1.3 WAA becomes 3.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wickersham 13.6 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).
Dave Wickersham has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
