Over the course of his career,
Derek Lowe
pitched 2,671 innings
and made 534 plate appearances.
Lowe
was worth
34.2 Wins Above Replacement
(33.1 as a pitcher and 1.2 as a hitter)
and 10.2 Wins Above Average
(8.9 as a pitcher and 1.2 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 34.2 WAR becomes
36.2 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 10.2 WAA becomes 20.1 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Lowe 72.4 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).
Derek Lowe has a Hall Rating of
68,
leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
