So far in his career,
Clayton Kershaw
has
pitched 2,096 innings
and made 743 plate appearances.
Kershaw
has been worth
64.7 Wins Above Replacement
(62.05 as a pitcher and 2.5 as a hitter)
and 47.9 Wins Above Average
(45.381 as a pitcher and 2.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 64.7 WAR becomes
64.7 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 47.9 WAA becomes 45.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kershaw 146.2 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
137,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
