So far in his career,
Michael Wacha
has
pitched 867 innings
and made 287 plate appearances.
Wacha
has been worth
7.5 Wins Above Replacement
(8.2 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and 0.5 Wins Above Average
(1.2 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 7.5 WAR becomes
7.6 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 0.5 WAA becomes 3.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Wacha 14.1 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.
