From a Dan Szymborski article in today's Fangraphs

Post by Padres »

Mick Abel, Minnesota Twins

When the final ZiPS projection update goes up on Wednesday morning, Abel will have one of the most improved projections as the result of spring training. Last season was a poor one for him, but he showed a great deal of progress in one respect: Throwing strikes. After walking six batters per nine at Triple-A in 2024, he cut more than a third off that number in both the minors and majors last year, though he still wasn’t showing results commensurate with how filthy his stuff has been at times. But that hasn’t been a problem this spring, and his changeup looks nastier than ever.

My emphasis ... going up tomorrow. Also I didn't realize spring training can have an impact on his projections ... Good news for Jag ...
