Reds fans aren’t the only ones predicting big things for their team in 2020. PECOTA, which stands for Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm, is Baseball Prospectus’ proprietary system that projects player and team performance. The projection system predicts the Cincinnati Reds will take home the National League Central Division title in 2020.
Reds Country has enjoyed an offseason filled with promise. The Reds signed outfielders Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama, pitchers Wade Miley and Pedro Strop, and second baseman Mike Moustakas. Dick Williams and Nick Krall put together a winter that few fans in the Queen City have ever seen.
