I always try and stick to the "KISS" strategy whenever I do a "system" in all sport contest that I enter.
After looking into different angles on who I was gonna choose for my bracket, I decided to use baseball savant's HH% ranking.
(Players Hard Hit ball rate is simply showing the percentages of batted ball that were hit at 95mph or more.)
This is what my bracket looked like.
Player/HH% Ranking/HH%
Robert / #206 / 40.8%
Rutschman / #299 / 36.8%
I picked Robert to win.
Garcia / #46 / 50%
Arozarena / #39 / 50.9%
I was supposed to pick Arozarena, but picked Garcia because I liked the Rangers batters. Big mistake!
Betts / #60 / 49.6%
Vald / #13 / 56.3%
I picked Vlad to win.
Alonso / #218 / 40.5%
Julio R / #40 / 50.8%
I picked Julio to win.
==================
If I had chosen Arozarena instead of Garcia like I was supposed to, according to the ranking, I would have had a perfect bracket.....STUPID ME...LOOK....
