MLB Player Profiles
2024 Player Profile: Nick Pivetta
Nick Pivetta has punched out 175 batters in three straight seasons, even though he only made 16 starts last season, which is certainly impressive. There’s no question he’s locked into the Red Sox rotation to begin the 2024 season, and we know that strikeouts will follow. Other than missing bats, what other skills does he Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Shota Imanaga
He certainly wasn’t the biggest import this offseason on the mound, but the Cubs were more than happy to settle for the runner-up to Yoshi Yamamoto. The Cubs gave Shota Imanaga 4-years and $53 million to pitch out of their rotation (there are two more option years that could take the deal to 6-80). Who Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Matt Wallner
There are a bunch of players in baseball who could hit 30-homers if given a chance to play every day. One of those men is the towering Matt Wallner of the Twins. What does his overall game look like beyond the obvious power stroke and what does all of that mean when it comes to Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Shane Bieber
In 2020, during the Covid shortened season, the best pitch in the American League was Shane Bieber. He was tabbed the Cy Young Winner that season while also finishing 4th in the MVP vote after he led the league in victories (eight), ERA (1.63), strikeouts (122), strikeouts per nine (14.2) and hits allowed per nine Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Brendan Donovan
When he arrived in the bigs, his calling card was his defensively flexibility. He got on base but he didn’t drive the baseball though, muting his offensive output. In year two he started to lift the baseball more and it appears that he is primed for his best season in year three. Just who is Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Cristopher Sanchez
Twelve months ago, no one ever said the words – Cristopher Sanchez – at a draft. It simply didn’t happen. Ever. Twelve months later, after 19 impressive outings, the outlook has changed with the Phillies’ hurler. He’s not a prime target for folks if you look at his ADP, but it is clear that folks Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Shea Langeliers
The lead catcher of the Athletics, Shea Langeliers played 135 games with 490 plate appearances in his first full season in the big leagues. Only eight catchers played more games and just 11 had more plate appearances and the youngster figures to get all the playing time his body can handle yet again in 2024. Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Sean Murphy
Sean Murphy had a hell of a season last year. Despite that fact, some were disappointed in his effort. His production slowed later in the year and the Braves, rather inexplicably, curtailed his workload substantially, which is odd for one of the better all-around catchers in the game. Where does all of that leave us Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: James Outman
When a rookie goes 23/16, homers and steals, people tend to take notice. When he accomplishes that level of production for the Dodgers, well then one would think he would be flying off draft boards. That really isn’t the case of James Outman which poses the question – why isn’t he a prime target in Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Teoscar Hernandez
A step below being called a prodigious power-hitter, that doesn’t mean we should look past the powerful, but flawed, bat of Teoscar Hernandez this spring. A productive player in Toronto, he posted a solid season with the Mariners last year before signing a one year deal with the mighty Dodgers this offseason. This article will Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Nelson Velazquez
Nelson Velazquez isn’t a guy who has produced tons of big league success, but he has hit a bunch of homers in limited at-bats, and some metrics suggest he could take a significant step in 2024. Let’s explore the slugging outfielder to see what he might become in the coming season. 25 years old Bats/Throws: Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Cole Ragans
Last season, I didn’t receive one question about Cole Ragans in the preseason. Frankly, I’m pretty sure I didn’t get one question in the first half. But, the hard throwing lefty went bananas down the stretch for the Royals after being traded from the Rangers, and with that people have pushed him so far up Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Lane Thomas
Lane Thomas was a relative nobody last season when the year began, but by season’s end the Nationals’ outfielder damn near went 30/20. How did that happen? Can he take another step this season? Heck, can he even repeat the numbers from 2023 this season? 28 years old Bats/Throws: Right/Right Height/Weight: 6’0”, 200 lbs. Position: Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Aaron Civale
Drafted in the third round in 2016, it has taken Aaron Civale a long while to be considered fantasy relevant. He’s posted a 3.15 ERA and 1.1 WHIP over 84 minor league starts, but the ratios have gone up in the bigs and until a 10 game stretch last season with the Rays in ‘23, Read More!

Sign in.
2024 Player Profile: Chas McCormick
Chas McCormick turns 29 in mid-April this year, and he barely has 1,000 big-league at bats with the Astros. What he also has is a season that was one steal away from allowing him to join the vaunted 20/20 club despite having an ADP north of 500 last season. Who is this power/speed threat who Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Taj Bradley
When you watch Taj Bradley you are struck by the fact that the kid brings it. When he’s locked in he can mow threw any lineup, but just as often it seems that he struggles to control his offerings causing him to labor through outings, even if he’s racking up punchouts in the process.

2024 Breakout Pitcher of the Year
Back in 2014 I predicted the breakout effort of Corey Kluber before anyone else was talking about him, starting a yearly attempt at predicting which pitcher will greatly outpace their draft day cost. A couple of times over the last decade, the selection for Breakout Pitcher of the Year has broken out in a big Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Sonny Gray
Sonny Gray signed a 3-year, $75M deal to join the Cardinals after a special season with the Twins in 2023 when he was third in baseball in ERA. We all know he’s not posting an ERA of 2.79 again, so the question becomes, what should we be expecting from the veteran righty this season? 34 Read More!

2024 Player Profile: Jung Hoo Lee
Jung Hoo Lee had crazy amounts of success in Korea, posting a slash line that would make Carroll Corbin blush. The Giants liked what they saw so much that the rewarded the outfielder with a 6-year, $113 million deal to be their leadoff man. Where should we place our 2024 expectations with the import? 25 Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Player Profile: Lance Lynn
Lance Lynn still tossed a ton of innings and piled up plenty of strikeouts in 2023. However, he was a walking volcano that alternated periods of dormancy with periods of red hot offensive fireworks. After his disastrous ratio effort, is he worth a draft pick in 2024, and if so, how aggressively should we be Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

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!

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. Optimus Prime is the leader of the Autobots, of Transformers fame. Optimus is the leader because of bravery, his selfless attitude and his Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

This idea, this model, was received well last season, so let’s head on back there to see what we can find when it comes to players and potential success in the coming season at the plate.
