ZiPS projections released for 2023 Milwaukee Brewers
FanGraphs released the ZiPS projections for the 2023 Brewers on Thursday.
ZiPS, or the Szymborski Projection System, was developed by analyst and statistician Dan Szymborski. To arrive at its projections for most players, the system uses statistics from the past four seasons, weighing recent seasons more heavily. It then takes into account aging curves for similar players.
The full projections can be viewed here, but here’s a quick rundown.
ZiPS’ view of this year’s Brewers team aligns with the assessment of other analysts: the Brewers are a pitching-first team that features healthy position player depth, but they lack a star offensive player.
