Over the course of his career,
Joe Saunders
pitched 1,387 innings
and made 150 plate appearances.
Saunders
was worth
8.3 Wins Above Replacement
(8.5 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and -4.2 Wins Above Average
(-4.2 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 8.3 WAR becomes
8.3 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 -4.2 WAA becomes 3.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Saunders 14.6 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 Saunders has a Hall Rating of
14,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
