Projectability happens everywhere, not just in the Ivys.  I hate that word.  It should be scrubbed from the English language.

Evaluating baseball talent is both an art and a science. The analytics cover the science side - to some extent. But there should be more too an evaluation than just numbers. The art side of evaluation is very subjective. IMO it has more to do with instincts and memory than anything else. It’s a matter of opinion no matter how you define it. But whenever a coach or scout likes a player for a subjective reason, and someone asks the reason to be quantified, the answer is “projectability.”

Sorry to trigger both of you.

Didn't realize people on here were so sensitive.

If I change "projectability" to "long range forecast" does make you feel better?
