Plan for 2027

Contact high ask Make more contact on strikes
Zone contact ranks in the 8th percentile of Triple-A hitters (150+ PA). The target beats regression to the mean: it is his expected next season with no plan (a value this far from the Triple-A median tends to come back part of the way) plus the step a quarter of similar players beat.
Zone contact: 76% target 80% no plan ≈ 78% Check at the 2027 All-Star break · noise then ±2% Triple-A tracking

Each goal is checked when his sample can tell the target from noise: the 2027 All-Star break if it can by then, else season’s end or the sample it needs; if no single season can, it’s a lean. Coach card
