Over the course of his career,
Jim Sullivan
pitched 514 innings
and made 227 plate appearances.
Sullivan
was worth
3.0 Wins Above Replacement
(4.3 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter)
and -1.5 Wins Above Average
(-0.2 as a pitcher and -1.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.0 WAR becomes
3.0 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 -1.5 WAA becomes 1.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Sullivan 4.9 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).
Jim Sullivan has a Hall Rating of
5,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
