So far in his career,
Mariano Rivera
has
pitched 1,219 innings
and made 4 plate appearances.
Rivera was worth 52.7 Wins Above Replacement
(52.7 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter)
and 31.4 Wins Above Average
(31.4 as a pitcher and 0.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 52.7 WAR becomes
63.2 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 31.4 WAA becomes 38.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rivera 127.9 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).
Mariano Rivera has a Hall Rating of 126,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
