Over the course of his career,
Cole Hamels
pitched 2,698 innings
and made 778 plate appearances.
Hamels
was worth
58.8 Wins Above Replacement
(58.0 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter)
and 36.9 Wins Above Average
(35.9 as a pitcher and 1.0 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 58.8 WAR becomes
58.7 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 36.9 WAA becomes 36.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hamels 123.7 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).
Cole Hamels has a Hall Rating of
116,
meaning he will be in the Hall of Stats when eligible.
