New Daily Projections Feature: Hitter vs. Pitcher summary column

ken_admin  4/5/2014 7:06 AM

Under the Daily Projections, there's a new display column "Hitter vs. Pitcher". Here, we show a quick summary of how that hitter has done versus the probable pitcher for that game. The format is [at bats] [avg]/[obp]/[slug].

Since the at bats are typically low, we do not use this information to adjust the projection, but it's there to view if you'd like to see it.

We will also add this display to the H2H/Roto Daily page this weekend.

This is great! Any chance you can add the hitter handedness to this? I know you take that into account in Monster Factors but it is also useful to know this for fringe players who may be platooned -- i.e. a LHB may not play against a LHP so I may not want to add him to my roster for that day.

The hitter handedness is in the Matchup column. It's the far right  L, R, or S.

I love this feature, but there has been a big discrepancy between the batter vs pitcher stats from this site compared to Fantasy Alarm, which I know is a site yall work with to get info...for example, for tonight's games, yall have Adam Jones' BvP  as 16 ab, .188/188/375, but at fantasy alarm they have him listed as only having 5 AB's vs McGowan and going 4 for 5....another example:

Heyward vs. Roark is listed as 23ab .391/.440/.565on BBM but on Fantasy Alarm it has him as going 0 for 2 lifetime vs Roark (which makes more sense, because Roark hasnt even pitched 60 major league innings!)

I could go on w/ other examples (Chris Davis, Freddie Freeman, etc) 

So why is there such a big discrepancy, and more importantly, which one is correct? Thanks, and I love the new feature, it just has me a bit confused since Im a big fan of both sites.

The data needed to be refreshed for changes in probable pitchers. We'll make sure this is done more frequently, and thanks for letting us know.

Anybody else not seeing the split vs pitchers.  It just shows as a blank column for me the past two days.

Also for the weather I don't see the chance of rain any longer (maybe no games have any chance today) just the temp and wind.

It looks like you're using the H2H/Roto Daily Projections, and you should see the splits now. For the weather, there's currently no rain today except TB which is a dome.
