Over the course of his career,
Mike Hershberger
made 3,983 plate appearances.
Hershberger
was worth
2.4 Wins Above Replacement
and -10.7 Wins Above Average.
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.4 WAR becomes
2.4 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 -10.7 WAA becomes 0.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hershberger 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).
Mike Hershberger has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
