Over the course of his career,
Hiroki Kuroda
pitched 1,319 innings
and made 254 plate appearances.
Kuroda
was worth
20.9 Wins Above Replacement
(21.6 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter)
and 9.7 Wins Above Average
(10.4 as a pitcher and -0.7 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 20.9 WAR becomes
20.9 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 9.7 WAA becomes 10.8 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Kuroda 40.3 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).
Hiroki Kuroda has a Hall Rating of
38,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
