Over the course of his career,
Sam Mertes
made 5,015 plate appearances
and pitched 4 innings.
Mertes
was worth
23.4 Wins Above Replacement
(23.2 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher)
and 6.3 Wins Above Average
(6.1 as a hitter and 0.2 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 23.4 WAR becomes
24.6 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 6.3 WAA becomes 8.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mertes 40.4 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 Mertes has a Hall Rating of
38,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
