The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Mike Yastrzemski in the 14th percentile when it comes to his BABIP ability.. Mike Yastrzemski is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 67% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.. The Washington Nationals outfield defense grades out as the 3rd-best out of all the teams playing today.. Mike Yastrzemski is an extreme flyball hitter and matches up with the strong outfield defense of Washington (#3-best of all teams today).. Playing on the road generally diminishes hitter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Mike Yastrzemski in today's game.
