I wrote a guest article for Roto Authority on JC Bradbury’s PrOPS, or predicted OPS, metric. In it, I take a look at those hitters with the largest differences between their PrOPS and actual OPS, similar to the format of my Leaders & Laggards series. The article is up now, so check it out.

Nice article Mike. Informative and a study I’d never otherwise consider.

Very cool. I was actually kind of working on something similar that would normalize for BABIP, but this is obviously much better.
So, what’s the formula anyway? Didn’t find it anywhere.

Yeah, I had that question as well. Bradbury describes the statistic, but I haven’t actually been able to find the exact formula. I also haven’t been able to find any follow-up studies confirming whether the metric has any predictive value like claimed.
