Over the course of his career,
Ed Seward
pitched 1,485 innings
and made 805 plate appearances.
Seward
was worth
20.6 Wins Above Replacement
(20.9 as a pitcher and -0.4 as a hitter)
and 12.9 Wins Above Average
(13.5 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.6 WAR becomes
16.4 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 12.9 WAA becomes 10.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Seward 35.5 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 Seward has a Hall Rating of
33,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
