Over the course of his career,
Vic Sorrell
pitched 1,671 innings
and made 626 plate appearances.
Sorrell
was worth
17.0 Wins Above Replacement
(20.3 as a pitcher and -3.3 as a hitter)
and 0.8 Wins Above Average
(4.1 as a pitcher and -3.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 17.0 WAR becomes
17.4 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 0.8 WAA becomes 8.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sorrell 33.2 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).
Vic Sorrell has a Hall Rating of
31,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
