I received the actual print last week after publishing the contest. It looks great. Good luck winning it, though! We had nearly 240 entries this year, and I think it will come down to tie-breaks.

Here is the full spreadsheet of results.

I found the size of the "Matt Adams will have the highest SLG%" majority a little surprising, as well as the relatively even K% split.

Here are our averages for Matt Carpenter hits and doubles: 183.9, 43.6

And here are some pretty graphics courtesy google forms.
