2023 Fantasy Baseball AL Tout Wars Draft Recap

This past Saturday, I was honored to be participating in my first-ever AL Tout Wars draft.

Fantasy baseball is back!

When you're evaluating a pitcher by Pitch Info on FanGraphs, sometimes you see pitches that don't seem to accomplish anything.

You may be wondering why there aren't any advanced stats aimed at predicting a player's counting stats like runs and RBI.
