Over the course of his career,
Chris Sampson
pitched 358 innings
and made 69 plate appearances.
Sampson
was worth
2.1 Wins Above Replacement
(2.2 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -0.4 Wins Above Average
(-0.3 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.1 WAR becomes
2.3 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 -0.4 WAA becomes 1.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sampson 5.2 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).
Chris Sampson has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
