Over the course of his career,
David West
pitched 569 innings
and made 67 plate appearances.
West
was worth
3.1 Wins Above Replacement
(2.6 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter)
and -2.4 Wins Above Average
(-2.7 as a pitcher and 0.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 3.1 WAR becomes
3.9 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 -2.4 WAA becomes 1.9 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives West 7.3 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).
David West has a Hall Rating of
7,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
