Homer Run Risers and Fallers: Batted-Ball Profile Changes for Fantasy Baseball

We are closing in on the end of April, which means we have a pretty decent-sized data sample for hitters now. The league leaders will clear 100 plate appearances in the next week or so, which gives us a lot of good stuff to look into. A lot of times we find a breakout or […]

The New York Mets Offense: A True Source of Fantasy Baseball Success?

The New York Mets lost their series finale on Thursday at St. Louis, but they are still one of the biggest positive stories so far in 2022. The Mets won 14 of their first 19 games, and only the legendary 1986 team had a better start, at 15-4. New York also won its opening six […]

Mining the Minors for Hot Prospect Hitters and Call-Ups - Nolan Gorman, Triston Casas, Luis Garcia, and more

Breakout Hitters to Watch for Fantasy Baseball Week 4

Welcome back RotoBallers to another edition of my "Breakout Hitters To Watch" series.

The idea is to find hitters that have made changes and/or really improved this season to find start-worthy […]

Early Pitching Outliers: Swinging-Strike Rate vs. Strikeout Rate

It is very early in the season, as the league leaders have made just four starts. Because of this, we have a lot of strangeness in the data that has been generated, especially with pitching, which is an inherently random exercise. One thing that can be a bit random over a small sample size is […]

Where Have Robbie Ray's Strikeouts Gone?

Winning the Cy Young award is quite a prestigious honor. From Don Newcombe in 1956 to Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Tom Seaver, Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and many more, that honor puts you in elite company. Last season, we saw two pitchers take home their first Cy Young award. However, whereas Corbin Burnes […]

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.
