Over the course of his career,
Fred Sanford
pitched 744 innings
and made 255 plate appearances.
Sanford
was worth
4.9 Wins Above Replacement
(5.3 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -0.6 Wins Above Average
(-0.2 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.9 WAR becomes
5.5 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 -0.6 WAA becomes 3.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sanford 11.3 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).
Fred Sanford has a Hall Rating of
11,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
