The industry's longest-running publication for baseball analysts and
fantasy leaguers, the 2017 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.
