In his 9th year on the ballot, Billy Wagner is long overdue for the Hall of Fame. A seven-time All-Star, member of the 400-save club, and arguably the most efficient strikeout pitcher in the history of the sport, it's time for the third-best closer in MLB history to take his rightful spot in Cooperstown.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@timberwolvesguy6392The thing about Joe Nathan and relievers like him is that the standards of sabermetric stats like win probability added and ERA+ for relievers at their peak are not well understood by most voters. Most of them seem to just go off of total saves, and possibly the peak years of that stat. In Joe Nathan’s case specifically, voters would’ve seen a pitcher who didn’t get to 400 saves (though he does rank 10th I think), and was not good in the playoffs, so I’m not surprised he was ignored. In my opinion, looking only at saves is flawed because while at the end of the day, a pitcher needs to finish the game with the lead to get the save, a pitcher could theoretically pitch his way into trouble, and give up a run or two, and get a save that counts the same as a pitcher who got three outs without allowing a baserunner. In my opinion, there should be a stat for what I call “quality relief appearances”, which I define as the following: 1. The pitcher has to have faced three batters after entering the game in relief. 2. The pitcher cannot allow any runs, earned or unearned. And 3. The pitcher cannot allow more than one baserunner. The raw total of this could allow us to account for all appearances of three batters or more regardless of whether it’s a save situation or not (I would suggest a split for save situations and non save situations). Joe Nathan for the record, has 712 appearances of three or more batters faced in his career, and by my definition, 463 were quality relief appearances, or 65%. That percentage is matched only by Kenley Jansen among pitchers who have as many appearances of three batters or more in relief, though several have more volume, and percentages of this stat are increasing from generation to generation as multi inning relief appearances become less common. Out of curiosity, what do you think of that potential stat? I think there should be a relief equivalent of quality starts personally, and that’s what I’d suggest.

@@PitBullSamiTutHere’s the thing: Nathan has an ERA+ on baseball reference of 151 vs 177 for Papelbon, but Nathan also pitched roughly 200 more innings. Papelbon however had an ERA of 1.00 in 27 playoff innings and Nathan’s playoff ERA is 8.10 in 10 playoff innings. Both players are among the best ERA’s for their respective career volumes, but Papelbon had a better playoff career. I could see the argument for either one being better than the other, but either way both guys arguably played well enough to deserve to break 5% of the vote, and neither one did.

I think the best way to explain why his small sample size of playoff numbers are so bad is largely he was on teams where he had to put in the work to get them over the hump to get in meaning by the time he got to the playoffs he was worn out. Now he should have been in the Hall ages ago but hopefully he gets those 5 votes he missed in year 9 for his final time. Also another intresting point is when he retired he still had more seasons in the tank but he wanted to go out on his terms

It didn’t end up mattering, as the Mets ran away with the division that year, but it was frustrating nonetheless.

The same goes for Joe Nathan: pitched 10 career postseason innings and gave up 25 baserunners. Nobody cared about his 40 saves when that was going on.

K rod shouldve closed for longer. Did he have a ped or crime scandal?

Respectfully, how? Wagner beats KRod in just about every category, both rate stats and career stats, only trailing in career saves and IP. KRods a legend but is a solid #4

@@marcusy.6372 I think a LOT changed around what's demanded from pitchers in the course of roughly a decade between Wagner's retirement and K rod's. Right around the late 2000s to early 2010s, there was a push on closers pitching faster and faster and faster without any regard to their long-term durability. I think K rod suffered victim to this phenomena and the tail end of his career fizzled out, whereas wagner's prime was half a decade before the demands started getting crazy. Wagner didn't have to compare himself to quite as many pitchers as K-rod did later on in his career. And I just checked on b-ref, and k rod pitched in over 100 more games than wagner too, which really says how hard he fought to prolong his career (which probably hurt some of his career ERA, whip, etc.) in lieu of all the Aroldis Chapmans throwing 100+ MPH every single pitch. It's really hard to compare players who are even just a decade apart because in the ridiculous changes in pitching standards, but that's my take. Same reason why I think these pitchers getting 180-200 career wins are more impressive than players 30 years ago who got 250 career wins.

I hate how annoying these old voters are about the HoF. For Christ sake the NBA allows more dudes in every year and have like half the players in the league each year. Guys like Wagner jones Helton are obvious hall of famers and yet aren’t in yet

I think that silly Billy Wagner is a HOFer . It always looked painful the way he threw
