So far in his career,
Clay Buchholz
has
pitched 1,273 innings
and made 54 plate appearances.
Buchholz
has been worth
18.3 Wins Above Replacement
(18.24 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and 6.3 Wins Above Average
(6.442 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 18.3 WAR becomes
18.3 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 6.3 WAA becomes 14.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Buchholz 44.4 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).
Clay Buchholz has a Hall Rating of
42,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
