The projection as it was published, not as we would write it today.
Every number below was frozen before the first pitch and has not been touched since. Nothing is recomputed with today’s model, so a night that went badly still reads badly. Pick any night and check us.

Inside the range
67%
How many landed inside their 80% range. One night is a small sample.
| Pitcher | Projected | 80% range | Actual | Miss | Big night |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cam SchlittlerHe misses a lot of bats, striking out 28% of the hitters he sees, facing a tough lineup to put away (18%), the kind that fouls off the good ones, but we plan on about 73 pitches from him, so his night ends early. | 5 | 2–7 | 2 | +3.0 | 10% → no |
| Freddy PeraltaHe pitches to contact, striking out only 21% of the hitters he sees, facing a lineup that strikes out about as often as anyone (24%), but we plan on about 71 pitches from him, so his night ends early. | 5 | 2–7 | 3 | +2.0 | 8% → no |
| Gavin WilliamsFew starters miss bats like he does, punching out 33% of the lineup night after night, facing a lineup that strikes out about as often as anyone (24%), but we plan on about 77 pitches from him, so his night ends early. | 7 | 4–10 | 11 | -4.0 | 35% → yes |
Miss is projected minus actual: positive means we projected more strikeouts than he threw. An actual shown in red landed outside its 80% range. Openers and short assignments are voided and never counted.
