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 […]

Bullpen Report: Late-Inning Changes and Long Relievers to Stream

The only constant in life is change. Those are wise words by a Greek philosopher named Heraclitus.

Aaron Hicks Put On Paternity List

The New York Yankees placed outfielder Aaron Hicks on the paternity list on Tuesday and recalled infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Hicks could miss as much as three days while on the list, so fantasy managers need to adjust their lineups this week accordingly. With Hicks away from the team, […]
