THE BAT Context-Neutral Projections

Hitters Pitchers”:/grids/context-neutral-pitchers-3019671 

THE BAT’s Context-Neutral Projections strip out all of the environmental factors that influence THE BAT’s traditional projections. This is how a player would project without the impact of parks, weather, umpires, defense, catcher framing, home field advantage, etc. The only things included are things related to the hitter, the pitcher, and the catcher’s throwing. These are not recommended for casual players, since the context that is removed is very important and a big part of THE BAT’s edge. These are experimental projections for advanced GPP players that may highlight under-the-radar players who have a good batter/pitcher matchup but will be ignored because of context.

Derek Carty (DerekCarty)

Derek Carty is the creator of THE BAT X (for MLB) and THE BLITZ (for NFL) projection systems, widely considered the gold standard for projections and the driving force behind multiple Milly Maker winners. You may also know him from ESPN.com, from his time on Baseball Tonight and SportsCenter, or from his early career managing the fantasy sections for Baseball Prospectus and The Hardball Times. While perhaps best known for DFS, he also has an elite track record in both sports betting (career ~13% ROI on thousands of publicly-tracked bets as of the end of the 2023-24 NFL season) and season-long fantasy expert leagues (11 titles while placing in the top 3 in roughly half of all leagues). On the sports betting side, you may recognize his work from EV Analytics, ScoresAndOdds, Covers, and Unabated. For season-long fantasy, THE BAT X is prominently featured at FanGraphs. While known mostly for his analytical skills, he’s also proud to be the only active fantasy or betting analyst to have graduated from MLB’s exclusive Scout School.
