Over the course of his career,
Carlos Zambrano
pitched 1,959 innings
and made 744 plate appearances.
Zambrano
was worth
44.0 Wins Above Replacement
(38.3 as a pitcher and 5.6 as a hitter)
and 28.3 Wins Above Average
(23.0 as a pitcher and 5.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 44.0 WAR becomes
44.2 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 28.3 WAA becomes 24.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Zambrano 88.8 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).
Carlos Zambrano has a Hall Rating of
83,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
