A defensive wizard, Scott Rolen presents a compelling Hall of Fame case.Given how far he’s come, who wants to bet against Billy Wags? His advantages over Hoffman - and virtually every other reliever in history when it comes to rate stats - provide a compelling reason to study his career more closely. There are, though, fewer hurdles than before: over the past two election cycles, his share of the vote has nearly tripled, from 16.7% in 2019 to 31.7%, in ’20 to 46.4% in ’21. Hoffman’s status as the former all-time saves leader helped him get elected in 2018, but Wagner, who created similar value in his career, has major hurdles to surmount. Lacking the longevity of Mariano Rivera or Trevor Hoffman, Wagner never set any saves records or even led his league once, and his innings total is well below those of every enshrined reliever. He was still dominant when he walked away from the game following the 2010 season, fresh off posting a career-best ERA. Using a hard slider learned from teammate Brad Lidge, he kept blowing the ball by hitters into his late 30s to such an extent that he owns the record for the highest strikeout rate of any pitcher with at least 800 innings. Thanks to outstanding lower-body strength, coordination, and extraordinary range of motion, the 5-foot-10 Wagner was able to reach 100 mph with consistency - 159 times in 2003, according to The Bill James Handbook. The Astros made him a first-round pick, and once he was converted to a relief role, his velocity went even higher.
Scouts overlooked him because he wasn’t anywhere close to six feet tall, but they couldn’t disregard his dominance over collegiate hitters using a mid-90s fastball. Undersized and from both a broken home and an impoverished rural background, he channeled his frustrations into throwing incredibly hard - with his left hand, despite being a natural righty, for he broke his right arm twice as a child.
