Acuna has a BABIP of over .400 so far this season.
For 2018 I'd project a slash line of .270/.330/.450 at the major league level.

You bite your tongue. He will bat over .400 with 56 home runs and 180 RBIs with 70 SBsOriginally Posted by nsacpi

i seem to have wandered into the wrong thread
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I've been told we can count on Acuna for 8 WAR next year...
That OPS would put him in the top 30 in history for aged 20 season.
Ted Williams 1.045
Trout .9636
Correa .857
Heyward .849
Stanton .833
Cabrera .793
are some notables.

Mike Trout had a BABIP of .390 as a 19-year-old in AA. .326 average.
His BABIP in his rookie year with the Angels was .383. .326 average.
Your projections frankly seem to be junk science.
Weren't those numbers in the neighborhood of many Dansby 2017 projections we saw?
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Ronald has never had an OBP as low as .330.
The last time his average was near .270 was as a 17-year-old in the GCL.
He is hitting .322 as a 19-year-old across 3 upper levels and showing constant improvement.
Very frustrating to see projections so low.
Hitters hit.
Not mine. I am winning a bet that his OPS this year would be below .700.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Would you care to make a bet on his 2018 major league OPS?
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I'd also be interested in bets on Acuna's 2018 BABIP and strikeout rate numbers in the majors.

Yeah...but what about AFTER the all-star break?
BoneThrower (08-08-2017), CK86 (08-08-2017), Diesel (08-08-2017), Freshmaker (08-08-2017), jpx7 (08-08-2017), Tapate50 (08-08-2017), zbhargrove (08-08-2017)
BABIP of .628 with 6 strikeouts on the year.
His projection seems pretty reasonable, maybe a bit optimistic.
His steamer projection (yeah, a bit pessimistic) is .263/.316/.414. His 2016 season was .311/.387/.432 in A ball with a .359 BABIP.
I would guess .275/.320/.430..........and it would be a damn fine season for a 20 year old.

He's also never hit in the major leagues before.

I assume that you are allowing for six times that umps ring him up on bad calls for the strikeouts, and that the .628 also assumes a few bad calls at first, where the umps made up their minds early, not anticipating his FV81 speed. (The Bravos would challenge some of these, but the politburo in NY has proven that they still miss plenty.)
Ronald with a triple in his 1st AB tonight. Average up to .361.
Y'all keep doubtin'
He'll keep mashin'
Who on earth is doubting Acuna?
Everyone predicting mediocre slash lines next year. Two people ITT have guessed .270/.330 and .275/.320.
If he doesn't hit .300+, I'll be more than shocked.
