Over the course of his career,
Sean Lowe
pitched 440 innings
and made 24 plate appearances.
Lowe
was worth
1.8 Wins Above Replacement
(1.9 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and -1.7 Wins Above Average
(-1.6 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 1.8 WAR becomes
2.0 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 -1.7 WAA becomes 3.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lowe 8.5 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).
Sean Lowe has a Hall Rating of
8,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
