The 2025 Musings Marcels for batters await your download. These are based on Tom Tango’s formulas, and offer a very simple, non-park adjusted look into the future. Let’s take a look at what might happen in 2025.
The Marcels project only two players with a .400+ OBP, Aaron Judge at .415 and Juan Soto at .407. Yordan Alvarez comes in at .392 and Freddie Freeman stands fourth at .380. So there is a wide spread at the top, Shohei Ohtani and Ronald Acuna Jr.tie at .377, and then another drop to .367, where players start bunching together.
Note that the only player projected to finish with a batting average over .300 is Luis Arraez at .321. Hits are disappearing, and according the the Marcels, so are.300 batting averages.
Judge tops the list of projected slugging percentages at .627, with Ohtani second at .682 Yordan Alvarez is once against third at .564 followed by Bobby Witt Jr.(.520) and Juan Soto (.518). In actual home runs, Judge leads with 45 while Ohtani comes in at 39. Free agent Pete Alonso sits four at 33, right behind Kyle Schwarber with 36. Eleven players in total reach the 30 home run mark.
Luis Arraez, Bobby Witt Jr, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.top the hits list with 178, 169, and 160 respectively. Ezequiel Tovar, who the Beat the Streak predictors liked very much, is fifth on the list with 153 hits. Jarren Duran projects to 41 doubles and eight triples, first and second in the majors respectively. Corbin Carroll tops the triples column at 10.
Note that the top four in walks, Soto, Judge, Schwarber and Ohtani are also very high on the home runs list. Ty France will need some Ben Gay as he is projected to be hit 18 times.
As far as runs go, Carroll leads the way with 104, while Judge drives in the most with 106. Guerrero wins the negative statistic, grounding into 18 double plays.
