Over the course of his career,
Jose Mesa
pitched 1,548 innings
and made 4 plate appearances.
Mesa
was worth
11.3 Wins Above Replacement
(11.4 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and -3.1 Wins Above Average
(-3.2 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 11.3 WAR becomes
14.5 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 -3.1 WAA becomes 8.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Mesa 30.5 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).
Jose Mesa has a Hall Rating of
29,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
