Over the course of his career,
Larry Sherry
pitched 799 innings
and made 164 plate appearances.
Sherry
was worth
5.8 Wins Above Replacement
(5.6 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -1.2 Wins Above Average
(-1.5 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.8 WAR becomes
6.7 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 -1.2 WAA becomes 3.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sherry 13.5 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).
Larry Sherry has a Hall Rating of
13,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
