I Could've Been a Contender: Re-Evaluating Top Pitching Prospects

We get sucked in every year. Even if we try to talk ourselves out of it, we don't seem capable of following through. We see the GIFs of nasty strikeouts or read about dominance at the minor league level and we start fawning over the next big pitching prospect. We follow his progress as he […]

A Tale of Two Months: Third Base

With over two months now in the books, and many players having played nearly as many games as they did in 2020, it's time to take stock on the truth behind various hot starts and slumps. However, we shouldn't do so just for our own edification, as there is good instruction to be had. Knowing […]

Champ or Chump: Cedric Mullins

Cedric Mullins is probably one of the biggest fantasy surprises of the year. The 26-year-old was virtually unheard of heading into 2021, though he logged MLB PAs in each season since 2018. Toiling in Baltimore can make it easy to get overlooked, especially if you're posting mediocre numbers with worse peripherals. Mullins gave up switch-hitting […]

Believe it or not, this will be our first foray into barrels this season. Certain statistics take longer to become significant, so it made sense to accumulate more data before digging into barrels.
