Over the course of his career,
Matt Garza
pitched 1,710 innings
and made 314 plate appearances.
Garza
was worth
12.6 Wins Above Replacement
(14.3 as a pitcher and -1.8 as a hitter)
and -2.6 Wins Above Average
(-0.6 as a pitcher and -1.8 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 12.6 WAR becomes
12.6 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 -2.6 WAA becomes 6.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Garza 23.6 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).
Matt Garza has a Hall Rating of
22,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
