Over the course of his career,
Nick Swisher
made 6,308 plate appearances
and pitched 1 innings.
Swisher
was worth
21.6 Wins Above Replacement
(21.4 as a hitter and 0.0 as a pitcher)
and -0.8 Wins Above Average
(-0.9 as a hitter and 0.1 as a pitcher).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 21.6 WAR becomes
21.6 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 7.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Swisher 35.8 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).
Nick Swisher has a Hall Rating of
34,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
