Over the course of his career,
Sam Leever
pitched 2,660 innings
and made 1,078 plate appearances.
Leever
was worth
40.7 Wins Above Replacement
(41.0 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and 18.9 Wins Above Average
(19.3 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 40.7 WAR becomes
41.9 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 18.9 WAA becomes 20.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Leever 79.5 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).
Sam Leever has a Hall Rating of
75,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
