About this listen
Pitcher Darren O'Day spent 15 years in Major League Baseball, mostly in a bullpen role. As such Darren doesn't have the necessary Wins and/or Saves totals that most Hall of Fame candidates possess. Nevertheless, Darren put together a very impressive career! In 609 innings Darren struck out 637 batters, allowed 458 hits and only 175 runs for a 2.59 ERA and a 167 ERA+.
Although a small sample size, (Baseball Reference does not "count" pitchers with less than 1000 innings pitched on all-time leaderboards for various stats) Darren's career ERA of 2.59 is still better than many Hall of Famers including Cy Young himself. If Darren's adjusted ERA+ of 167 were to remain through 1000 innings it would the second best all-time behind Mariano Rivera.
Is this enough to warrant induction into Cooperstown?
