Over the course of his career,
Bartolo Colon
pitched 3,461 innings
and made 326 plate appearances.
Colon
was worth
46.3 Wins Above Replacement
(48.1 as a pitcher and -1.9 as a hitter)
and 14.3 Wins Above Average
(16.3 as a pitcher and -1.9 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 46.3 WAR becomes
46.4 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 14.3 WAA becomes 26.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Colon 94.3 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).
Bartolo Colon has a Hall Rating of
89,
meaning he will fall significantly short of the Hall of Stats when eligible.
