Over the course of his career,
Tully Sparks
pitched 2,343 innings
and made 894 plate appearances.
Sparks
was worth
19.8 Wins Above Replacement
(24.3 as a pitcher and -4.6 as a hitter)
and 0.4 Wins Above Average
(5.0 as a pitcher and -4.6 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 19.8 WAR becomes
20.3 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 0.4 WAA becomes 12.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sparks 43.0 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).
Tully Sparks has a Hall Rating of
40,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
