Over the course of his career,
Orlando Merced
made 4,532 plate appearances.
Merced
was worth
16.3 Wins Above Replacement
and 2.1 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 16.3 WAR becomes
16.6 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 2.1 WAA becomes 7.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Merced 29.7 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).
Orlando Merced has a Hall Rating of
28,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
