Over the course of his career,
Sugar Cain
pitched 987 innings
and made 376 plate appearances.
Cain
was worth
5.4 Wins Above Replacement
(7.2 as a pitcher and -1.8 as a hitter)
and -4.1 Wins Above Average
(-2.3 as a pitcher and -1.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 5.4 WAR becomes
5.6 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 -4.1 WAA becomes 0.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cain 6.9 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).
Sugar Cain has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
