I don’t remember – did the spreadsheet calculate BABIP for us? If not, that could explain some of those low hit totals. People may not have realised they were projecting a .220 BABIP.

How many of those HRs do you suppose will be “establish the fastball” first-pitch strikes? Looks like most projections factor in about 20 or so extra hits due to bad team defense.

Seems appropriate for this year to be the one in which he makes a major step forward. He’s got a couple of seasons under his belt, he’s matured and gotten comfortable on the mound, and we’ve got a new pitching coach who emphasizes changing speeds.

I just hope the royal change can come back to complement the royal curve.

I would say he will land somewhere between marginal improvement and ascension to the throne…

Wow, my projection was the pessimist one! And I actually figured this would be his best season yet. Pretty funny.

Felix will have a good year, one way or another.
