This only includes Cole’s stats with the Rangers. I don’t know why he didn’t click here, whether it was coaching, environment or what... but the Texas portion of Cole’s season wasn’t up to his typical standards and looks pretty gross compared to what he did in Chicago after he got traded.
Congrats to BaseballTown 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.
