So far in his career,
Clayton Kershaw
has
pitched 1,935 innings
and made 686 plate appearances.
Kershaw
has been worth
59.4 Wins Above Replacement
(57.4 as a pitcher and 2.0 as a hitter)
and 44.1 Wins Above Average
(42.0 as a pitcher and 2.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 59.4 WAR becomes
59.4 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 44.1 WAA becomes 42.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kershaw 134.3 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
127,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
