2020 Baseball Forecaster on Joey Votto:
.281/.383/.442 for an OPS of .825, with 17 HRs, and an OPS+ of 111
"So much for a rebound. Steep two year decline in plate and underlying power skills paint a pessimistic picture. Statcast tells the story: he's barreling the ball at one third of his pre-2018 rate. Rebound to 20 HR may be in the cards but that no longer carries much value by itself, and xBA confirms days of pairing it with a .300 BA are over"
