Ron Shandler's 2020 Baseball Forecaster

The industry's longest-running publication for baseball analysts and fantasy leaguers, Ron Shandler's Baseball Forecaster, published annually since 1986, is the first book to approach prognostication by breaking performance down into its component parts. Rather than predicting batting average, for instance, this resource looks at the elements of skill that make up any given batter's ability to distinguish between balls and strikes, his propensity to make contact with the ball, and what happens when he makes contact—reverse engineering those skills back into batting average. The result is an unparalleled forecast of baseball abilities and trends for the upcoming season and beyond.

Cea mai indelungata publicatie din industrie pentru analistii de baseball si ligii de fantezie, Baseball Forecaster a lui Ron Shandler, publicata anual din 1986, este prima carte care abordeaza prognosticul prin descompunerea performantei in partile sale componente. Mai degraba decat sa prezica media de batai, de exemplu, aceasta resursa priveste elementele de abilitate care alcatuiesc abilitatea oricarui batator dat de a distinge intre mingi si lovituri, inclinatia sa de a intra in contact cu mingea si ce se intampla atunci cand face contact - inginerie inversa acele abilitati se intorc in media de batai.
