So far in his career,
Michael Wacha
has
pitched 1,026 innings
and made 290 plate appearances.
Wacha
has been worth
6.8 Wins Above Replacement
(7.5 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and -1.6 Wins Above Average
(-0.9 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 6.8 WAR becomes
6.7 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 -1.6 WAA becomes 3.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wacha 13.7 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).
Michael Wacha has a Hall Rating of
13,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
