Over the course of his career,
Sam Crawford
pitched 612 innings
and made 343 plate appearances.
Crawford
was worth
3.7 Wins Above Replacement
(4.4 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and -1.7 Wins Above Average
(-0.8 as a pitcher and -1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.7 WAR becomes
3.5 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 -1.7 WAA becomes 3.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Crawford 9.4 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).
Sam Crawford has a Hall Rating of
9,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
