Well there's fuzziness over the threshold of projectability required for genuine kindhood; Hilary Kornblith and Eric Schwitzgebel both have told me they think "predator" and "prey" are natural kinds, and those seem too loose to me. Kinds with coarse physical commonalities are a step up, but only one

Kinds require future-instance projectability and only physical kinds have that, since projectability is grounded in physical similarity. You can't predict the properties of a physically heterogeneous kind because you don't know which physical sub-kind the token falls in

People are attacking him & evaluators forgetting that JH absolutely raked his way through MiLB as one of the youngest players at every level.
*I do think hitter projectability is as tough as it's ever been because there's no way to fully simulate how players deal with modern MLB velocity.
*I do think hitter projectability is as tough as it's ever been because there's no way to fully simulate how players deal with modern MLB velocity.
Have to remind myself that Holliday is basically an average MLB player at the same age as some of the game's top prospects in AA.
He's actually only 2 months older than Aloy.

Monster underlying metric profile: 97th% Whiff, 98th% K% (just 7.8%), and a bruising 95th% Avg Exit Velocity. High-impact barrel finder with average-or-better hit tool projectability. Drafted as a catcher but no true defensive home. Lumbering defender with a strong arm bound for LF or DH.

Matias Vanhanen was, at the time, a bit of an off-the-board pick by the #NJDevils, but it was an excellent bet on talent and projectability.

Safe projection as productive middle-six winger, who chips in 20 goals. Left-handed Josh Doan-type.
If he falls to the late-1st round, someone’s going to steal a nice player. And someone else would’ve gambled of a different kid’s projectability & lost.

Two excellent drawings of #GaraziNevas by artists from #ProjectAbility (both sold!) and Toby being a good boy listening to them play at @counterflows.bsky.social this weekend.

There’s a chicken and egg thing with recruiting/scouts, “mass to throw gas”, “long levers”. The old eye test and “projectability”
There’s a size bias in D1/drafting that’s an incentive to error bigger
Notice the attention the Brewers are getting for the sub 6’ roster.

it's presumably related to what i talked about yesterday with cruz vs. everyone else (ceiling vs. floor in projectability), but the pirates are really relying on a lot of innings from young pitchers, and that's going to impact them in weird ways.

does stable posture equal legible gesture? or just durable ambiguity — something we can misread confidently?
we see the shape of the reach, not what was being reached around. reliability vs projectability.

I think the issue is a popular conception of scientific predictability (really, projectability) that expects a level of regularity akin to the one underlying chemistry in junior high (eg hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 ratio plus a catalyst yields water). But social kinds are less global than that
