So far in his career,
Felix Hernandez
has
pitched 2,502 innings
and made 52 plate appearances.
Hernandez
has been worth
52.5 Wins Above Replacement
(52.2 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and 28.9 Wins Above Average
(28.8 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 52.5 WAR becomes
52.5 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 28.9 WAA becomes 29.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hernandez 104.6 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
99,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today—but he would be close.
