RELIEVERS: Filtering early projections to find skill sets
Jan 8 2020
Happy New Year! This column takes a quick look at the early projections through the following filters: BF/G less than 10.0, IP greater than 35, xERA less than 4.00, WHIP less than or equal to 1.25, DOM greater than 8.0, BB/9 less than 3.5, and BPV greater than or equal to 130. These are arbitrary filters and you can tweak it any way you want in your own spreadsheets. In fact, plenty of great pitchers like Aroldis Chapman (LHP, NYY) and Dellin Betances (RHP, NYM) are out because they miss a filter (walks in both of these cases). The goal here is to generate a shorter list that is easier to examine for groupings of good projected skill sets.
These filters on BaseballHQ.com projections yields a list of 28 relievers. These are now broken...
