What is it?
Where this period ends up if the player keeps playing at the same rate. A projection, not a record.
How is it worked out?
Two things. How much more the player will play comes from previous seasons. How well comes from the rate this period, weighed against the rate last period.
What does the small green number mean?
Each projected number shows how much is still to come underneath it. 58 with +16 means 42 already recorded and 16 more expected. Hover any projected number to see it spelled out.
Why not use the team schedule?
Players move between teams all season, so there is no one schedule to read. A player’s own history is the better guide.
Why not just count the days left?
Games are not spread evenly across the year. The projection counts games still to come, not days.
What if there is no history yet?
It uses the average first season for that graduation class, and says so above the table.
Why are AVG, OBP and ERA blank?
A rate projects to the rate already recorded, so only counting stats are projected.
How accurate is it?
It sharpens as more games are played. Under 10 games it is marked Early and will move week to week.
How often does it change?
Nightly.
