Over the course of his career,
Mario Soto
pitched 1,730 innings
and made 603 plate appearances.
Soto
was worth
25.9 Wins Above Replacement
(26.8 as a pitcher and -1.1 as a hitter)
and 10.6 Wins Above Average
(11.7 as a pitcher and -1.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 25.9 WAR becomes
27.4 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 10.6 WAA becomes 16.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Soto 56.2 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).
Mario Soto has a Hall Rating of
53,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
