Over the course of his career,
Ed Rakow
pitched 761 innings
and made 253 plate appearances.
Rakow
was worth
0.6 Wins Above Replacement
(2.4 as a pitcher and -1.8 as a hitter)
and -5.4 Wins Above Average
(-3.6 as a pitcher and -1.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 0.6 WAR becomes
0.5 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 -5.4 WAA becomes 0.7 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Rakow 1.7 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).
Ed Rakow has a Hall Rating of
2,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
