Over the course of his career,
Jake Westbrook
pitched 1,747 innings
and made 205 plate appearances.
Westbrook
was worth
13.5 Wins Above Replacement
(12.8 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter)
and -2.8 Wins Above Average
(-3.1 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 13.5 WAR becomes
13.6 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 -2.8 WAA becomes 5.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Westbrook 22.5 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).
Jake Westbrook has a Hall Rating of
21,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
