As much as we were in awe of Ronald Acuna, Jr.'s performance in 2023, Shohei Ohtani took it up a notch in 2024.

Registering baseball's first ever 50-50 season is one thing, but he also accomplished something else of BABSian proportions -- he became the first player to post a perfect (P+,S+,A+) BABS rating. Amazing.

The final BABS database update is posted, and you can peruse the asset groups to see many interesting skill sets possessed by some surprising players. That's where your 2025 draft prep begins.

In the coming months, look forward to the 2025 Baseball Forecaster and First Pitch Arizona. My historical memoir, Fantasy Expert is still available, and you can still take advantage of the special offer to get a signed copy.
