2025: Post Hype Sleepers
I hate the title of this piece. In my opinion, there simply aren’t “sleepers” in fantasy sports in 2025. Back in 1998 sure, but not now. In order to be a sleeper, you need to be leaning hard into a guy with an ADP in the 500+ range, and that’s really tough to do with Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2024 Review: I Added-Lost Velocity
Velocity matters, whether it is off the bat or out of the pitcher’s 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. To that end, we’re talk about fastball Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2025: Pitching: Ideal Age & Performance
A few years ago I dug in to birth certificates and what age may or may not tell us about player 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 2025. Before we get to the current data, Read More!

2024 Review: Pitcher’s Workloads
We all know the workload is down for starting pitchers, but how much are the overall workloads down across the landscape of baseball? We will begin by reviewing overall workloads the last few years. Then, we will look at the batters faced per outing for hurlers to get a sense of where things stand, before Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

Fantasy Baseball Projection Models in 2025

2025: MLB Speed Grades

2025: MLB Power Grades
We’re talking about pure, unadulterated power here. This article/ranking setup isn’t about how many homeruns a player will hit in 2024.

2025: MLB Dependability Grades
This article isn’t about how many base hits a guy will produce, nor is it about how many home runs a player will hit or about how many strikeouts a pitcher will produce. The piece isn’t going to try and predict the at-bat or innings pitched totals of the players either. So, what the heck Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2025: On-Base Percentage Rankings
Even though the calendar has flipped to 2025, the overwhelming majority of fantasy baseball leagues still use batting average as one of the main categories for hitters (at least in points leagues we have positive points for walks – and some even add a point for a HBP as well).

Consistency Leads to Championships
If you play head-to-head fantasy baseball, and I know a lot of you do – like a lot, you know how important it is to try and identify players who are likely to produce week-after-week. In roto leagues, we focus less directly on the week-to-week thing because we are more consumed with six months versus Read More! You need a subscription to access this content.

2025: The History of MLB Rookie Production
I have spent about two and a half decades warning people about the perils of drafting and depending upon first year players in fantasy baseball. This study, going on 12 years, unequivocally produces data to suggest that we are terrible at the rookie prospecting games. Sure there are hits, we will get to that, but Read More!

2025: What is Tiering & Why Does it Matter?
