Another month has flown by, and what a month it's been. The month of June has had several notable breakouts, which have shaken up rankings a bit. We have also seen a handful of "older" players continue to struggle and fall down rankings. We have a few new additions to the Top-10 and a few […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers! I trusted the weather a little too much in the Chicago game, as it resulted in no homers being hit. Quite unfortunate to say the least. On top of that, neither Winston Santos nor Kyle Manzardo played in their game, making yesterday's article a complete dud on my part. I hope to... […]

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Jared Jones has struggled through six starts since returning from the UCL surgery he underwent in May of 2025, pitching to the tune of a 5.76 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and nine walks in 25 innings pitched. It's expected that one is to struggle from an injury like he suffered; however, the […]

Every season, fantasy managers see highly-regarded prospects not only earn the call to the big leagues, but also make a high impact for fantasy. Last season, Nick Kurtz took the crown, and so far, players like Gage Jump and Konnor Griffin are showing similar potential. Below, we will look at two of the top pitching […]

Somehow, a whole bunch of my favorite young pitchers happened to line up to start on the same day. And the best part is that most of them have some very exploitable matchups for strikeouts, too.
