He was 139-116, with a 3.49 ERA (107 ERA+), 3.66 FIP, and 1.300 WHIP. He actually had more seasons with an ERA below the league average, then he did above. He was fantastic in 1946 and 1948, but if that's enough then I can't wait for Tim Lincecum's induction.

If he makes the Hall of Fame as a pitcher, we would probably need to induct another ~125 pitchers alongside him.

Nobody has ever been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a coach. If they started doing this, one could make a case that Sain should be considered, but that is also true for 50 other people.

Sain isn't a Hall of Famer. He doesn't barely miss the cut off. By any statistical based argument, he does not make it. He was a good pitcher who lived an interesting life, which is a fine legacy indeed
