2024 Player Profile: Jake Burger
Jake Burger, who turns 28 years old in April, had a breakout season last year. The effort was split between two teams – the White Sox and Marlins – but it was the exponential growth he showed with the Marlins late in the year that is so appealing and worthy of study heading into the Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Luis Rengifo
Luis Rengifo was a nobody for about half of the 2023 season. However, his bat caught fire in the second half, before injury derailed his season (a ruptured biceps tendon that is expected to be no issue this year), and that places him on the intriguing list of players for 2024, especially given his defensive Read More!

Relievers to Avoid in 2024
So much of the value of relievers in traditional fantasy baseball comes down to how teams handle the 9th inning. As I’ve written elsewhere, I think we are doing it wrong, but I know most leagues still use saves so the relievers that generate saves are extremely important to most. We don’t know who will Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2023 Review BABIP – What You Need to Know
In the recent past, few people talked about BABIP and fewer even knew what it stood for. A few years later it seemed like everyone began to take notice and you would find BABIP mentioned frequently. A few years later BABIP was all anyone could talk about. Now, we’ve seen a bit of a pullback Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2023 Review: I Added-Lost Velocity
Velocity matters, whether it is off the bat or out of the pitchers hand. It’s not the answer to success or failure, you can be a good hitter or hurler without elite velocity numbers, but you would have to be a buffoon to say that velocity doesn’t matter.

Pitching: Ideal Age & Performance

I will review some of that data here, and then see if we can create a pool of hurlers that would be good targets in 2024. The Role of Age in Baseball. Some Read More!

2024: Cheap MLB Power
Power is seemingly everywhere in baseball these days, but that doesn’t mean we might not still be able to fine some cheap power sources late in drafts. To that end, here are a few potential sluggers that won’t cost you much on draft day. Sure they might have some warts, and they may not be Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2023 Review: Strong K Rate, High Barrel Rate
Contact and oomph. In this piece we are focusing on which batters hit the ball really hard, and also make a lot of contact. Seems like combining those two factors should lead to a lot of success in fantasy baseball, no? Let’s start out by defining this. WHAT IS A BARREL? Let’s take this right Read More!

2023 Review: Launch Angle, A Review
Batters want to lift the ball because chicks dig the long ball (we also love this trait in fantasy baseball). It’s also how you do the most damage with a bat in your hand and it also just so happens to be how you get paid. This article will focus directly on launch angle talking Read More!

Do Second Half Stats Matter?
There has long been a line of thought in fantasy baseball, and it goes something like this… Look at a players second half numbers as a window into what will happen in the following year. If the player struggled in the second half you should have some concern. But more often than not, it’s been Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2023 Review: K%-BB% Hitters
Making contact matters. Being patient matters. When you put both traits together, more often than not, you end up with a batter who can help you in the batting average and OBP percentage categories. In theory at least, these type of players also should remain more consistent from week-to-week than those that hack away or Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2023 Review: Matrix Of Leadership – Pitchers
Last season we had some success with this idea, pointing to hurlers who were better than league average across the board, so we decided to do it all over again in 2024.
