Over the course of his career,
Scot Shields
pitched 697 innings
and made 4 plate appearances.
Shields
was worth
12.2 Wins Above Replacement
(12.2 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and 5.5 Wins Above Average
(5.5 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.2 WAR becomes
14.5 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 5.5 WAA becomes 7.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Shields 28.5 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).
Scot Shields has a Hall Rating of
27,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
