The bestselling annual baseball preview from the smartest analysts in the business Now in its 20th edition, the
Baseball Prospectus annual shows once again how it became the industry leader: The 2015 edition includes key stat categories, more controversial player predictions, and the kind of wise, witty baseball commentary that makes this phone-book-thick tome worth reading cover to cover.
Baseball Prospectus 2015 provides fantasy players and insiders alike with prescient PECOTA projections, which
Sports Illustrated has called "perhaps the game's most accurate projection model." Still, stats are just numbers if you don't see the larger context, and
Baseball Prospectus brings together an elite team of analysts to provide the definitive look at all thirty teams?their players, their prospects, and their managers?to explain away flukes, hot streaks, injury-tainted numbers, and park effects. Victory, after all, could come down to choosing between the supposed sleeper and the overrated prospects who won't be able to fool people in the Show like they have down on the farm.
Nearly every major-league team has sought the advice of current or former
Prospectus writers, and readers of
Baseball Prospectus 2015 will understand what all those fans have been raving about.
