Predict Bautista's Batting Average 

Post#1 » by youngLion » Mon Jun 13, 2011 11:00 pm

I've been wondering about this ever since Bautista got off to his cartoonish start. Last season he was fantastic but only hit .260. This season he spent about two months hitting a hundred points better than that mark but now he does seem to be regressing a bit. I think most of us expect him to improve on his mark from last season but it's hard to say how much. I'm guessing he'll end up somewhere in the .285-.315 range but I just pulled those numbers out of my ass so what do I know. What's your prediction?

About .300-.310. I expect him to be about a .280 hitter the rest of the season.

He's a ~.270 BABIP hitter on his career who got insanely unlucky last year with a .233, so assuming that corrects neatly in the other direction he should end with a ~.305 BABIP and a ~.310 BA.
