8 of 27 hitters moved up the order, 8 of 27 moved down.
Batting order is playing time, and playing time is most of what a hitter is worth. The gap between batting first and batting eighth is roughly one plate appearance a game, about thirty a month, and no rankings page shows it, because a ranking assumes the role it was built with. These are the 54 regulars whose spot in the order has actually moved over the last week, out of 269 with enough starts to judge.
Hitting higher than they were. More plate appearances, more runs, and more chances with men on base.

Dropped in the order. The at-bats go somewhere, and it is usually the first sign a role is being reconsidered.

Slot is the average spot in the batting order across games actually started. Pinch-hit appearances are excluded, they have no meaningful place in the order and would move an average around at random.
The bar for appearing here is the tenth and ninetieth percentile of everyone with enough starts, recomputed each run. On this window the median change was exactly zero, which is why a player at the tail has genuinely been moved rather than having drifted a little.
Why a manager made a move is not in this data. An injury above them in the order, a platoon, a hot week, all produce the same row, and the cause is not guessed at here.

Final Value = Raw Projection × MasterConfidence × TeamContext. Each layer answers one question - no overlap.
Recency weighting: prior seasons contribute by recency (more recent = more weight) and sample size (more PA = more weight).
Shrinkage: observed rates regress toward position-specific population means by an amount inversely proportional to sample size. Catches small-sample outliers.
Quality-of-contact adjustments: xwOBA, barrel rate, and bat-tracking metrics replace luck-driven outcome stats with skill-driven ones.
PT modeling: projected PA is anchored to workload tier (full-time, regular, platoon, backup catcher) using historical role distributions.
Monte Carlo: N simulated seasons per player using projected mean + uncertainty, producing P10 / P50 / P90 distribution and bust%.
Confidence layers: four orthogonal multipliers: Roster (depth chart), Role (PT certainty), Sample (career PA), Market (consensus alignment). The Audit tab shows all four for every player.
VAR: Value Above Replacement at the player's primary position. Replacement levels are floored per position so SS scarcity doesn't artificially inflate stable middle infielders.
