Bruce Norlander takes out his crystal ball again

apbaFor many years, Bruce Norlander has been predicting APBA baseball pitching grades.  He’s posted his predictions on the APBA Between the Lines forum for years but in the last several seasons, he’s posting it on his own site, ArchRivals Baseball

Bruce has a formula for predicting the grades and in my book, he’s gets it pretty close.  He’s a very popular guy this time of year.  Even though his grades are not official in any capacity, APBA baseball fans are clamoring for any idea of what the coming season’s card set will look like. 

Here they are:

Keep an eye on ArchRivals Baseball in case he posts more. 

As a bonus, here’s an interview that Mike Estep did with Bruce Norlander for the APBA Blog back in 2012.  If you read it, you’ll find he’s more than the “predictions guy”.

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.

  1. Hi Tom,

    It looks like a ton of info, but because I am not completely sure of the cutoff on pitching grades over 15, Is Jake Arietta’s projected 20 rating an A or A&C?
