So far in his career,
Clayton Kershaw
has
pitched 1,760 innings
and made 627 plate appearances.
Kershaw
has been worth
54.4 Wins Above Replacement
(52.7 as a pitcher and 1.7 as a hitter)
and 40.5 Wins Above Average
(38.8 as a pitcher and 1.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 54.4 WAR becomes
54.4 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 40.5 WAA becomes 38.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kershaw 123.6 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).
Clayton Kershaw has a Hall Rating of
117,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
