So far in his career,
Max Scherzer
has
pitched 1,696 innings
and made 255 plate appearances.
Scherzer
has been worth
38.0 Wins Above Replacement
(37.3 as a pitcher and 0.7 as a hitter)
and 23.3 Wins Above Average
(22.6 as a pitcher and 0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 38.0 WAR becomes
38.2 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 23.3 WAA becomes 23.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Scherzer 79.7 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).
Max Scherzer has a Hall Rating of
75,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
