Matt Chapman grades well in exit velocity and hard-hit rate while improving his approach last season. Surprisingly, he added stolen bases (15) to his resume in 2024, but is that stat repeatable?

Some (most) of these predictions will look a bit silly in six months, if not sooner. Still, there is a basis for making each of these bold statements, and perhaps it makes you think. Perhaps the player in question has a particular skill -- or opportunity -- that defies groupthink.
