What MLB stats should I be using?

We take care of that for you! Our projections are created utilizing the best predictive metrics in the game, so there should be no real need to delve into baseball’s complex world of statistics unless you want to. Some of the stats that you will hear our analysts refer to on shows include handedness (“platoon”) splits for hitters and pitchers, focusing on things like strikeout and walk rates, hard hit percentage, ISO and WRC+ for power and run creation for hitters, xFIP and SIERA or other fielding and luck independent predictive metrics for pitching, and Statcast data such as spin rate, launch angle and average exit velocity.

Making additional changes to Awesemo’s projections based on anything you may see in these statistics is not recommended. The projections are already finely tuned and industry-leading, instead decisions like that should be applied to ownership exposures as relates to where the field is on the play.
