ZiPS right now projects Lake for the best BABIP in baseball going forward, at .345...it is a skill, and he might be the best at it right now so he's still overperforming that a little bit, and ZiPS is skeptical his power will sustain at current levels*, but i'd also argue he's underperformed in other areas of the game like baserunning and throwing, to where he might lose some offense and still be very able to gain back production in other areas to where he's still performing at an average/above-average level *if the model doesn't factor in speed, then i disagree somewhat with this
