Over the course of his career,
Ed Crane
pitched 1,551 innings
and made 1,497 plate appearances.
Crane
was worth
0.4 Wins Above Replacement
(-0.4 as a pitcher and 0.9 as a hitter)
and -12.1 Wins Above Average
(-11.8 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.4 WAR becomes
0.5 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 -12.1 WAA becomes 3.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Crane 7.5 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).
Ed Crane has a Hall Rating of
7,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
