What’s Rob Reading?

Kyle Hendricks (USA TODAY)

“PECOTA Does Well With Pitchers Who Beat FIP”
By Rob Arthur, Baseball Prospectus

“There are some players every projection system aces. It doesn’t take a genius or some fancy math to tell you that Mike Trout is probably going to be pretty good–he’s been posting nearly the same stats, with some slight variations due to injuries, for the better part of a decade now. And there are some players, on the opposite ends, that always seem to bedevil any prediction thrown at them. Cubs ace Kyle Hendricks is among this latter pool.”
