Over the course of his career,
Sheriff Blake
pitched 1,620 innings
and made 602 plate appearances.
Blake
was worth
10.6 Wins Above Replacement
(11.7 as a pitcher and -1.0 as a hitter)
and -2.4 Wins Above Average
(-1.4 as a pitcher and -1.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.6 WAR becomes
10.8 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 -2.4 WAA becomes 5.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Blake 20.0 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).
Sheriff Blake has a Hall Rating of
19,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
