Over the course of his career,
Don Cardwell
pitched 2,123 innings
and made 767 plate appearances.
Cardwell
was worth
16.7 Wins Above Replacement
(16.9 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and -3.6 Wins Above Average
(-3.4 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 16.7 WAR becomes
16.9 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 -3.6 WAA becomes 4.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cardwell 25.0 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).
Don Cardwell has a Hall Rating of
23,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
