It doesn't work that way, it depends on the category that the ballplayer falls into. For instance that's why Buck O'Niel didn't get in, they were looking at his stats as a negro league player and the stats were not impressive. So he didn't get in.
For Gil Hodges he falls into the player category, so they will be looking at the numbers solely. If they were looking at him as a manager, they would be looking at his managerial record only and he would fall short.
