Over the course of his career,
Taylor Buchholz
pitched 311 innings
and made 65 plate appearances.
Buchholz
was worth
2.1 Wins Above Replacement
(2.5 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -0.1 Wins Above Average
(0.1 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 2.1 WAR becomes
2.8 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 -0.1 WAA becomes 2.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Buchholz 6.8 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).
Taylor Buchholz has a Hall Rating of
6,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
