Over the course of his career,
Bill Sampen
pitched 299 innings
and made 32 plate appearances.
Sampen
was worth
1.6 Wins Above Replacement
(1.7 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -0.8 Wins Above Average
(-0.6 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.6 WAR becomes
1.9 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 -0.8 WAA becomes 1.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sampen 3.7 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).
Bill Sampen has a Hall Rating of
3,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
