2016 Hitter xBABIP & xHR/FB Rates For All!

Earlier in the year, I introduced the newest versions of batter xBABIP and xHR/FB. Finally, after many, many requests, I share with you every batter’s 2016 marks that I have calculated. Enjoy!

Any chance you can add MLBAM ID to your projections file this year?

Thnx for the work!

Are these sortable? Keep clicking the column headers and nothing happens.

Not Justin Smoak again! How many times are we supposed to get burned by favorable projections for him?

So I guess anybody who bought the book just got screwed.

I didn’t buy the book. But I know somebody who did and he was unhappy that the Brls/BBE metric was missing. He said that you told him that it would be in the book.

Barrels is a lagging metric, right Mike? Not predictive?

What datasets did you use to calculate your adjusted R^2 for xHR/FB? I had an idea regarding an improvement to xHR/FB but I want to make sure the playing field is level when I test the R^2

Both years of data? PA minimum)
