2018 Community Projections Results - Jake Diekman

First, I’d like to say I’m glad Diekman was able to make a solid recovery from surgery dealing with IBD. Here’s a link to his foundation, Gut It Out. Second, Jake had a decent year for the Rangers and was good enough to get dealt to the Diamondbacks in a deadline deal. So thanks Jake for throwing the heat from the left side and striking dudes out like crazy.

Congrats to jboll who had the lowest projection score! Here’s the link to the spreadsheet with everyone’s score.

As a reminder, the scoring is using Z-Score, or the number of standard deviations away from the actual result, for each of the provided categories, PA, AVG, OBP, and SLG for hitters. For pitchers the categories were IP, ERA, SO9, BB9, and HR9.

The OPT+ number indicates how optimistic a projection was compared to the LSB average. A OPT+ of 115 is 15% more optimistic than average and an OPT+ of 85 is 15% more pessimistic than average.
