Measuring Contact and Plate Discipline for Hitters: Walk-to-Strikeout Ratio or Walk Percentage Minus Strikeout Percentage?

For pitchers, K% minus BB% is generally recognized to be a superior metric to K/BB, and one of the better metrics out there for capturing pitcher talent. For batters, though, BB/K is still the dominant metric, widely referenced in baseball research. BB% minus K%, while not new, is only referenced in a few sabermetric niche […]

Projecting MLB's Demoted Top Prospect Hitters - Is A Rebound Likely?

You know the pattern: an acclaimed prospect (or young player) gets the call, folks spend hundreds of dollars of FAAB on them, then they get demoted a few rough weeks later. Sometimes, they fail to rediscover their shine in the minors. Other times they get another chance in the majors and take a major step […]

Baseball's Oldest Batters - Busts or Buy Low Candidates? Joey Votto, Nelson Cruz, Justin Turner, Yuli Gurriel

The first month-plus of the season has not been particularly kind to a few of baseball’s oldest hitters. That includes players who put together monster years in 2021 despite their already-advanced age.

Alex Wood (SP, SFG) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~195 pick CURRENT ADP: ~219 overall ANALYSIS: After failing to exceed 50 innings pitched in 2019 and 2020 combined thanks to a litany of back problems, the 2021 version of San Francisco Giants left-hander Alex Wood reminded us all of the pitcher who posted a sub-3.90 ERA in 6 straight seasons from 2013 […]

Incorporating a Shift Ban into Hitter Projections

With the announcement of a likely shift ban in 2023, fantasy baseball analysts ought to prepare. Many good articles have been written about the shift ban recently, with most echoing the sentiment that the leaguewide impact will be modest. Further, it is conventional wisdom that pull-heavy lefthanders would benefit the most. However, the size of […]
