Over the course of his career,
William Sheppard
pitched 31 innings
and made 12 plate appearances.
Sheppard
was worth
0.7 Wins Above Replacement
(0.8 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and 0.4 Wins Above Average
(0.5 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.7 WAR becomes
0.6 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 0.4 WAA becomes 0.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sheppard 1.5 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).
William Sheppard has a Hall Rating of
1,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
