Ron Shandler's Baseball Forecaster 2011

Front Cover
Triumph Books, 2010 - Games & Activities - 298 pages

The industry's longest-running publication for baseball analysts and fantasy leaguers, the 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 a given batter’s ability to distinguish between balls and strikes, his propensity to make contact with the ball, what happens when he makes contact and reverse engineer those skills back into batting average. The result is an unparalleled forecast of baseball skills and trends for the upcoming season and beyond.
