Projecting Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama: The ZiPS Edition

Error 0:

Just before 2019 ended we took a look at the available projections for new Cincinnati Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama. There were only two available at the time – one from ClayDavenport.com and one from Rotowire’s Senior Editor Jeff Erickson. When it comes to projection systems, those two fall a little bit down the line. Near the top of the list is the ZiPS system by Dan Szymborski. Over at Fangraphs he’s been working through the Major Leagues on a team-by-team basis. He hasn’t reached the Cincinnati Reds yet, but he did chime in with the 3-year ZiPS projection on Akiyama for Craig Edwards article on the deal.
