Michael Busch Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)

Michael Busch projected to 150 Games vs RHP and LHP with 12 team mixed fantasy value. This helps identify a player's platoon value for fantasy baseball based on pitcher handedness. These projections - combining Steamer rates and Razzball projected PA/Game and R/RBI - are a MUCH better indicator of a hitter's platoon splits than in-season stats since it involves multiple years of data and has been properly regressed to league averages. Since games are neutralized across players, values for everyday players may look smaller than for preseason/season to date/rest of season where they benefit from playing time advantages vs other players. In general, left-handed hitters have larger platoon splits.

Michael Busch Fantasy Outlook For 2024

Busch was shortlisted for a sleeper post, but hitting 25 homers in a good season with zero speed and a .245 average only moves the needle so much unless you have a big enough blind spot.
