Over the course of his career,
John Shaffer
pitched 181 innings
and made 78 plate appearances.
Shaffer
was worth
0.5 Wins Above Replacement
(0.5 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and -0.5 Wins Above Average
(-0.4 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.5 WAR becomes
0.3 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 -0.5 WAA becomes 1.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Shaffer 2.5 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).
John Shaffer has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
