2014 CC (Chris Carruthers) Player Projections
Previously, I made my pitcher projections available to the public that used only pitch level data. Now it’s time for the next step. Some projections that can hopefully rival those of the current publicly available systems. I have projected both hitters and pitchers this time around.
Pitchers:
– Uses a combination of actual results and pitch level and batted ball peripherals
– Attempts to (kind of) project IP
– Uses up to 10 years of data
– Uses park, league, season, and other factors
– Has an aging system
– Only projects players who have appeared in the MLB at some point
– Some pitcher defense included
Hitters:
– Uses a combination of actual results and batted ball peripherals, with some pitch level for walk and K rates
– Credit to Steamer/Fangraphs for PA projections
– Uses up to 10 years of data
– Projects almost everything a hitter can do
– Only projects hitters on MLB numbers and only players with 100+ PA
There are two tabs on the sheet for hitters and pitchers.
Couple of notes:
– wRD+ for hitters means “weighted Run Differential Plus” and includes defense and base running into wRC+
– Saves and holds are not projected for pitchers as they are due to role (which can fluctuate)
– Pitchers have a “Real ERA” and ‘Vac ERA”. The real ERA is what is expected to occur in their park and league, while the vac ERA would be their ERA in a context neutral environment. Vac ERA (or FIP) should be used for comparison.
