What are Scout the Statline Peak Projections?
Scout the Statline Peak Projections are based entirely on data analysis. Combining performance data with advanced statistics, translating the results to an equalized playing field (the MLB level), and scaling the results up to a player’s peak ages, allows us to instantly compare thousands of players across different ages, environments, and organizations! While the results can often be quite different than you might find from other scout-based analysis, peak projections provide a bias-free look at players with all the best data available, based on sound data science practices!
