Over the course of his career,
Bill Sherdel
pitched 2,709 innings
and made 1,070 plate appearances.
Sherdel
was worth
31.1 Wins Above Replacement
(27.7 as a pitcher and 3.5 as a hitter)
and 9.7 Wins Above Average
(6.3 as a pitcher and 3.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 31.1 WAR becomes
33.5 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 9.7 WAA becomes 12.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sherdel 56.3 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).
Bill Sherdel has a Hall Rating of
53,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
