Over the course of his career,
Rip Sewell
pitched 2,119 innings
and made 810 plate appearances.
Sewell
was worth
27.0 Wins Above Replacement
(25.1 as a pitcher and 1.8 as a hitter)
and 8.3 Wins Above Average
(6.6 as a pitcher and 1.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 27.0 WAR becomes
27.9 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 8.3 WAA becomes 11.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sewell 48.6 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).
Rip Sewell has a Hall Rating of
46,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
