Projection Busting Research Updated

Over the years, I’ve been working on how to fine-tune my player evaluation process. The following are six datasets that I’ve found useful I’ll not go into detail on any of them since I provide a link to the original article. The following is basically a referenceable data dump.

Note: I know there is a lot of content and when questions arise, make sure the area in question is obvious in the comment. Also, I’ll only answer questions here and not in the original articles.

Voit/Muncy All-Stars (link)

These are older AAA hitters who have shown signs of a breakout.

Hitters and Pitch Types (link)

I found three hitter types whose projections are off because of how they handle certain pitches in the strike zone. Two hitter groups that struggle are those who can’t hit slow fastballs down the middle of the plate and those who can’t recognize a changeup. The one group who shows some positive projection are hitters who don’t miss when they swing at non-fastballs.

Limited Arsenals (link)

Pitchers who have a more diverse arsenal have historically beaten their projections than those pitchers with just one or two pitches. From the article, there are four pitcher groups (Note: four-seam, two-seam, and sinkers are combined into one fastball group).

These are the highly touted hitters from our top-100 prospect ranking and are being drafted in NFBC leagues (Note: Both rankings may be off as the lists are in constant flux right now). I found basic projections underestimate the top prospects.

There is a lot of useful information here. But there are a ton of typos that make it hard to read/understand what is meant in some places. Please spend ten minutes re-reading this and making the needed edits.

Jeff puts out as much useful information as anyone, but yeah, his self-editing skills could be a lot better. It would be great if FG had someone to proofread Jeff’s pieces before publishing.
