Why Luis Castillo Will Be a Top Ten Pitcher in 2020

Luis Castillo is an awesome pitcher. He finally put it all together in 2019 and had the season we all have waited for. In 190.2 innings he produced a 3.40 ERA, 3.70 FIP, 18.8 K-BB%, and elite 15.9 SwStr%. Castillo finished the year as the 14th best pitcher in baseball according to Razzball’s player rater. While […]

Rich Hill (SP, MIN) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~ 170 CURRENT ADP: ~190 overall ANALYSIS: Rich Hill has been somewhat of a conversation centerpiece lately. Originally, Hill was going to miss the first half of the season, but with the delay, we could be seeing a "full season" of Hill. The left-hander has essentially never been a bad pitcher. […]


Luke Weaver (SP, ARI) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~ 170 CURRENT ADP: ~200 overall ANALYSIS: Luke Weaver seemed to be in the middle of a breakout before an injury halted his 2019 season. On the season, he pitched 64.1 innings in 12 starts with a 2.94 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. To further dive into this potential breakout, let’s take […]

Diving Into Pitch Counts For a Shortened Season

Pitchers who produce a ton of innings are a rare commodity in today’s game, with those who consistently put up 200 or more innings becoming increasingly valuable. However, with a potential shortened 2020 season and no innings limits, will this playing field be leveled? At first thought, one might think that pitchers with assumed limits […]

Starting Pitcher Breakouts Due For Negative Regression

As a fantasy baseball manager, there is nothing better than catching a player in their breakout season. Not a lot of people talk about the downside to owning a breakout player, though. We are all humans and a lot of us get attached to these players. That could certainly cloud your judgment because as we all […]


Starting Pitcher Deep Sleepers for AL-Only Leagues

Finding deep sleepers is one of the most fun and important things to do when it comes to draft prep. As you come towards the end of a draft you want to take players who have upside or potential to provide a lot of draft day value. That is what a draft is all about, […]

Adrian Houser (SP/RP, MIL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~205 CURRENT ADP: ~225 overall ANALYSIS: While nasty pitches and high amounts of strikeouts are fun, sometimes the pitchers who know how to get it done can help you the most. Adrian Houser can be your boring but productive pitcher for the 2020 season. In 2019, Houser posted solid numbers with a 3.72 ERA, […]


Pitchers Whose Value Increases In a Delayed Season

Unfortunately, we all know by now that the MLB season will be delayed or maybe even worse, canceled. There are without a doubt more important things in life than sports and one of them is health. The decision the MLB commissioner made was certainly the right one. But why do we all love baseball and […]


One More Chance: Pitchers Primed for Comebacks After Injury

Too often players come off of seasons riddled with injuries and are forgotten in fantasy drafts. This is something drafters should always look into because forgotten players equal value on draft day. Not only that but injuries can often frighten people from drafting a player regardless of their skill set. The pitchers below barely played […]


Predicting the Top-10 Finishers in ERA for 2020

Earned Run Average (ERA) is one of the most important stats when it comes to pitching. The best pitchers in the league have the lowest ERA, because, quite simply, if a pitcher doesn’t let up runs, they are inherently more valuable. Determining the top ERA leaders for the upcoming season can be extremely useful, because […]


Robbie Ray (SP, ARI) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140 CURRENT ADP: ~160 overall ANALYSIS: Robbie Ray is one of the most fascinating pitchers in baseball. He has some of the best fundamental pitches in the game, but when it comes to command and control, he struggles. He is an elite strikeout pitcher as he had a K% of 31.4 in 2018 […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers - Adrian Houser

In life, there seem to be two kinds of people, the flashy and the boring. “Flashy” people like high-end materialistic things such as nice clothing or an expensive car. "Boring” people prefer the simpler things in life like spending time with their loved ones. This seems to be true when it comes to fantasy baseball, […]


Going Full Corbin: Pitchers Who Should Throw Their Best Pitch More

Patrick Corbin has made a case for himself as one of the best pitchers in baseball. He produced 14 wins in 202.0 innings pitched with a 3.25 ERA and 28.5 K%. Corbin wasn’t always this good though. In 2016, his ERA was a pedestrian 5.15 with a mediocre 18.7 K%. Suddenly, Corbin decided to start […]
