Over the course of his career,
Mike Sullivan
pitched 1,111 innings
and made 511 plate appearances.
Sullivan
was worth
-1.7 Wins Above Replacement
(0.5 as a pitcher and -2.3 as a hitter)
and -11.3 Wins Above Average
(-9.0 as a pitcher and -2.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the -1.7 WAR becomes
-2.0 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 -11.3 WAA becomes 0.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sullivan -1.6 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).
Mike Sullivan has a Hall Rating of
-2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
