Over the course of his career,
Billy Serad
pitched 787 innings
and made 351 plate appearances.
Serad
was worth
-7.4 Wins Above Replacement
(-5.5 as a pitcher and -2.0 as a hitter)
and -13.0 Wins Above Average
(-11.0 as a pitcher and -2.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -7.4 WAR becomes
-6.8 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 -13.0 WAA becomes 0.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Serad -6.8 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).
Billy Serad has a Hall Rating of
-6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
