For some perspective, here' a list of the 59 pitchers, minus the Negro Leaguers, currently inducted at Cooperstown with their career WARP1 totals. Jim Kaat is estimated by WARP1 to have won 109.9 games for his clubs during his great career. I think it is pretty to safe to say, based on career value, that Kaat should be a mortal lock for selection. Someday. Hopefully, before he passes away.
