So far in his career,
Felix Hernandez
has
pitched 2,729 innings
and made 59 plate appearances.
Hernandez
has been worth
50.2 Wins Above Replacement
(50.4 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter)
and 24.7 Wins Above Average
(24.9 as a pitcher and -0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 50.2 WAR becomes
50.2 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 24.7 WAA becomes 29.4 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hernandez 103.0 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).
Felix Hernandez has a Hall Rating of
97,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today—but he would be close.
