What Each Player's System Trusts
Ben Brown

- xeraSIGNALluck-free xERA 2.91 is 0.99 above the ERA — regression coming
Shohei Ohtani
- xwobaSIGNALstable xwOBA 0.408, +0.093 vs league — production is earned
- hard_hit_pctSIGNALelite, already-stable contact quality
Brown projects for 2.91 ERA and 72 K; Ohtani for 24 HR and .293 AVG — entirely different categories, value depends on roster slot. Sell-high on Brown; buy Ohtani.
