Dan Szymborski put out the Royals’ ZiPS projections at the end of last week. I have been waiting for them, so of course the Royals were the 27th team to be covered. ZiPS is one of the best projection systems around, but I feel like people misunderstand projections systems and how to read them. This is partially a problem of how they are presented. I would like to dig into the Bobby Witt Jr. projection in particular and go into some depth about expectations we should have for him based on this, and other, projections for 2025.
