Over the course of his career,
A.J. Pierzynski
made 7,815 plate appearances.
Pierzynski
was worth
23.9 Wins Above Replacement
and -3.4 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 23.9 WAR becomes
28.3 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 -3.4 WAA becomes 7.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Pierzynski 41.1 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).
A.J. Pierzynski has a Hall Rating of
39,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
