Over the course of his career,
Barry Zito
pitched 2,576 innings
and made 418 plate appearances.
Zito
was worth
31.9 Wins Above Replacement
(33.1 as a pitcher and -1.1 as a hitter)
and 8.9 Wins Above Average
(10.1 as a pitcher and -1.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 31.9 WAR becomes
31.9 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 8.9 WAA becomes 18.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Zito 65.4 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).
Barry Zito has a Hall Rating of
61,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
