SPECULATOR: The BF21 UP: list—Pitchers
Feb 10 2021
Within the player commentaries of the 2021 Baseball Forecaster, we offer some UP: (and DN:) projections that are intended to reflect a ceiling (or floor) beyond the accompanying 2021 projection. As described in the book:
Upside (UP) and downside (DN) statistical potential appears for some players; these are less grounded in hard data and more speculative of skills potential.
Speculative? That sounds awfully familiar. We continue our 2021 Speculator series with a review of some of those UP: projections found in the Forecaster. Last week, we looked at batters, and now we'll head to the mound. The full list of pitchers is included here with a few thoughts on some of the outlooks that have evolved during the offseason (in bold).
