Sent this note to OOPSY staffers today about our new ethos: we are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: why OOPSY projections are wise and all-knowing, and why other projection systems are naive and flawed.

Pitchers projected to meet at least three of the four following thresholds, according to OOPSY projections (ADP included in screenshots): - ERA <= 3.50 - WHIP <= 1.15 - IP >= 80 - K/9 >= 9.00 (Ignore IP for RPs!)

When a batter "leaves the park," how am I supposed to know if it's the good kind of leaving the park or the bad kind...similarly, what about when a pitcher "throws the game?"

Jews say NO to ethnic cleansing! We’re proud to see so many members of the JVP Rabbinical Council represented among the 350 rabbis who took out this full-page ad in the New York Times today, using their voices in this moment to oppose Trump’s plans for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza.

Reviewing the OOPSY misses in October 2025: Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.

If you're a prospect hound, or even if you're not, I think that my research into how prospect grades turn into future outcomes provides helpful context for interpreting the slew of prospect data about to come your way with @fangraphs.com Prospect Week:

As I think you all know we're working on the next bat tracking metrics coming soon, and the thing I am currently gawking at is: Jhonkensy Noel (Big 🎄) and Keibert Ruiz have the exact same swing path, attack angle, etc Except Noel swings FOURTEEN MPH faster.

First, a big hand to anyone willing to go thru the exercise, so good job @jacobherlin.bsky.social I concur with Jordan: every system must (as in non-negotiable) be recentered to their own universe of forecasts Finally, @dszymborski.fangraphs.com has been with Fangraphs for... a long time now

Wouldnt judge rate projections based on this as, AFAICT, it doesnt follow best practices, doesnt rescale different projections to assume same league environment, doesnt weight errors by actual PT.However, BATX typically emerges as best even after these adjustments www.fantasypros.com/2025/02/most...
