I looked at a couple different ways of predicting wOBA for batters in OOTP 22 and thought it might be useful to post a link here for anyone that might be interested.

I primarily looked at predicting wOBA by:

Using ratings directly to predict wOBA
Using ratings to predict the composite events used in wOBA on a per plate appearance rate, and then calculating wOBA from those individual events.
Using ratings to predict those composite events under the theory the OOTP 22 engine uses an order to determining a plate appearance, and then calculating wOBA from those individual events.

I posted the notebook - and underlying data used - on GitHub for anyone to take a gander at if they're interested. It's probably riddled with spelling errors as I am hopped up on antihistamines at the moment, but the underlying code should all check out. Feedback is always appreciated.
