Over the course of his career,
John Sowders
pitched 497 innings
and made 237 plate appearances.
Sowders
was worth
0.4 Wins Above Replacement
(1.2 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and -2.4 Wins Above Average
(-1.6 as a pitcher and -0.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.4 WAR becomes
0.0 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 -2.4 WAA becomes 1.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sowders 2.3 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).
John Sowders has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
