Right is always better for the hitter: K% and whiff are ranked low-to-high. Context only; a percentile isn't a projection.

Talent blends this season with last season, shrunk toward league average where the sample is thin. Recent hot or cold streaks are not weighted: in our tests they didn't predict the next two weeks better than the season does.
