Over the course of his career,
Socks Seibold
pitched 1,063 innings
and made 439 plate appearances.
Seibold
was worth
4.9 Wins Above Replacement
(5.1 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and -4.0 Wins Above Average
(-3.8 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 4.9 WAR becomes
4.8 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 -4.0 WAA becomes 3.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Seibold 10.7 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).
Socks Seibold has a Hall Rating of
10,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
