Over the course of his career,
Les German
pitched 858 innings
and made 453 plate appearances.
German
was worth
-1.9 Wins Above Replacement
(-2.5 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter)
and -9.1 Wins Above Average
(-9.5 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.9 WAR becomes
-2.5 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 -9.1 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives German -2.5 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).
Les German has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
