Hall of Stats

Over the course of his career, Javier Vazquez pitched 2,840 innings and made 692 plate appearances. Vazquez was worth 45.6 Wins Above Replacement (43.4 as a pitcher and 2.2 as a hitter) and 21.5 Wins Above Average (19.4 as a pitcher and 2.1 as a hitter).

After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 45.6 WAR becomes 45.6 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 21.5 WAA becomes 25.3 adjWAA.

Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA. This gives Vazquez 91.1 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).

Javier Vazquez has a Hall Rating of 86, leaving him short of induction to the Hall of Stats.
