The Research
Section.

Original metrics and studies from MKDC Baseball, built the same way the call-up model is built: public data, stated limits, and numbers that stay on the record. The prediction side of the house lives on the PIX board and the methodology page. This is where the new ideas get tested.

Studies

New Metric · BSAx
The Bat Speed the Leaderboard Misses
Bat Speed Above Expected: who swings hardest for their size and age. Carroll, a 35-year-old Yastrzemski, the age-defiers, and Caminero, who needs no adjustment at all.

Inside the June 18 Recalibration
Every checkpoint claim reproduced, the v0.5 probability fit shown step by step, and the honest reason we publish 0.148 instead of the prettier number.

How research gets published here

Same rules as the model. Public data only. Limits stated up front. If a metric cannot survive a repeatability test, it does not run. And when a study makes a claim the season can grade, the grade posts either way, the same discipline that runs the calibration log.
