Statcast Exit Velocity: Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball

If you've watched a baseball broadcast in the Statcast Era, you have undoubtedly noticed the broadcasters commenting on a batted ball's exit velocity, or EV.

Three Relief Pitchers Set To Breakout In 2022

In fantasy baseball, there is no position more difficult to project than relief pitcher.
