Over the course of his career,
Ray Sheppard
made 820 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Sheppard
was worth
2.4 Wins Above Replacement
(2.5 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -0.3 Wins Above Average
(-0.3 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.4 WAR becomes
2.7 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 -0.3 WAA becomes 2.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sheppard 6.3 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).
Ray Sheppard has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
