2024: I’ve Changed My Pitch Mix
Pitchers that are adding pitchers could take a forward step in fantasy baseball this season. Conversely, refining a current pitch, or even removing a pitch that a hurler has struggled with, that too could lead to more success in the coming season. The change could also lead to little to no growth, but it doesn’t 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.

Relievers to Target 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.

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: 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.
