Over the course of his career,
Phil Hughes
pitched 1,291 innings
and made 20 plate appearances.
Hughes
was worth
10.9 Wins Above Replacement
(11.3 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter)
and -1.4 Wins Above Average
(-1.2 as a pitcher and -0.3 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 10.9 WAR becomes
11.4 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 -1.4 WAA becomes 5.6 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Hughes 21.5 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).
Phil Hughes has a Hall Rating of
20,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats when eligible.
