Over the course of his career,
Scott Linebrink
pitched 656 innings
and made 20 plate appearances.
Linebrink
was worth
9.5 Wins Above Replacement
(9.3 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter)
and 3.6 Wins Above Average
(3.5 as a pitcher and 0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.5 WAR becomes
11.2 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 3.6 WAA becomes 5.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Linebrink 21.8 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).
Scott Linebrink has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
