Over the course of his career,
Ben Sheets
pitched 1,596 innings
and made 513 plate appearances.
Sheets
was worth
23.1 Wins Above Replacement
(26.1 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter)
and 10.4 Wins Above Average
(13.3 as a pitcher and -2.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 23.1 WAR becomes
23.1 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 10.4 WAA becomes 15.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sheets 50.1 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).
Ben Sheets has a Hall Rating of
47,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
