Any site track minor league LD%? Bruno was BABIP was .431 last year and so far this year it's .488. That's insane.

I'm not sure Ryan Freel ever hit .370 over 350 PAs, even in high school.

 

FWIW, Bruno leads the FSL in batting average by 17 points, 28 points over 3rd place

tell me what you honestly think his babip can be in the majors

 

I don't know, he is a college drafee with only 56 PAs in full season ball after all. My point is more that he hasn't disqualified himself from being greater than that yet.

Batted ball data from the minor leagues(especially levels below AA) is a lot of guesswork, but Minor League Central takes a crack at it: http://minorleaguecentral.com/player?pid=572738

I like the idea of 95th percentile projection or something replacing the idea of "ceiling."

 

I hate ceiling. It's so meaningless. If Sammy Sosa could hit 66 home runs, then basically everybody's ceiling is everything.

 

I never realized Sosa hit so few HR in the minors. Holy crap.
