Over the course of his career,
Brandon McCarthy
pitched 1,223 innings
and made 167 plate appearances.
McCarthy
was worth
9.6 Wins Above Replacement
(10.1 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and -1.3 Wins Above Average
(-0.7 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 9.6 WAR becomes
9.9 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 -1.3 WAA becomes 4.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives McCarthy 18.0 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).
Brandon McCarthy has a Hall Rating of
17,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
