So far in his career,
Justin Verlander
has
pitched 3,163 innings
and made 60 plate appearances.
Verlander
has been worth
77.7 Wins Above Replacement
(78.1 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter)
and 48.4 Wins Above Average
(48.9 as a pitcher and -0.5 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 77.7 WAR becomes
77.9 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 48.4 WAA becomes 50.0 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Verlander 167.9 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).
Justin Verlander has a Hall Rating of
158,
meaning he would be in the Hall of Stats if his career ended today.
