Over the course of his career,
Russ Springer
pitched 856 innings
and made 31 plate appearances.
Springer
was worth
2.7 Wins Above Replacement
(3.1 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter)
and -3.7 Wins Above Average
(-3.3 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.7 WAR becomes
3.6 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 -3.7 WAA becomes 3.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Springer 10.6 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).
Russ Springer has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
