So far in his career,
Justin Verlander
has
pitched 2,988 innings
and made 60 plate appearances.
Verlander
has been worth
71.8 Wins Above Replacement
(72.3 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and 44.0 Wins Above Average
(44.5 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 71.8 WAR becomes
72.1 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 44.0 WAA becomes 45.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Verlander 154.5 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).
Justin Verlander has a Hall Rating of
143,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
