So far in his career,
Cole Hamels
has
pitched 2,698 innings
and made 778 plate appearances.
Hamels
has been worth
59.3 Wins Above Replacement
(58.3 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter)
and 37.2 Wins Above Average
(36.3 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 59.3 WAR becomes
59.2 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 37.2 WAA becomes 36.5 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hamels 124.8 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).
Cole Hamels has a Hall Rating of
117,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
