Over the course of his career,
Randy Lerch
pitched 1,099 innings
and made 300 plate appearances.
Lerch
was worth
-2.4 Wins Above Replacement
(-3.7 as a pitcher and 1.5 as a hitter)
and -11.6 Wins Above Average
(-13.0 as a pitcher and 1.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -2.4 WAR becomes
-2.8 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 -11.6 WAA becomes 0.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lerch -2.6 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).
Randy Lerch has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
