So far in his career,
Gerrit Cole
has
pitched 1,650 innings
and made 286 plate appearances.
Cole
has been worth
33.8 Wins Above Replacement
(33.1 as a pitcher and 0.6 as a hitter)
and 19.7 Wins Above Average
(19.2 as a pitcher and 0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 33.8 WAR becomes
37.5 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 19.7 WAA becomes 19.3 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Cole 72.2 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).
Gerrit Cole has a Hall Rating of
68,
meaning he would not be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
