Over the course of his career,
Joe Sommer
made 3,933 plate appearances
and pitched 14 innings.
Sommer
was worth
2.8 Wins Above Replacement
(3.7 as a hitter and -0.9 as a pitcher)
and -6.3 Wins Above Average
(-5.3 as a hitter and -0.9 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.8 WAR becomes
4.5 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 -6.3 WAA becomes 2.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sommer 8.8 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).
Joe Sommer has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
