• Looking Ahead with Launch Angle - Saturday, September 6th
Launch Angle: Does it matter? There is a need to hit the ball high in order for it to travel over the fence, but Barrel Rate plays into it, as does playing time and team context, of course. Looking forward to 2026, here's 5 hitters near the top of MLB in Launch Angle Average in 2025.

• Is Crochet Fading Down the Stretch? - September 3, 2025
Nick Kurtz (1B-ATH) went 1-3 with a 2B, RBI, and walk as he returned to action following a three-game absence (oblique). The 22 year-old will look to continue his push to be Rookie of the Year as he now boasts a .309 average, 27 homers, 71 RBI, and 70 runs scored across 396 PA. Kurtz has fanned a good bit (30%) as his swinging-strike rate is 13% and his in-zone contact rate isn't great at 79%, but...2025

• 5 Players I'm Leaving In 2025 - August 30, 2025
Zac Gallen, SP, Arizona Diamondbacks Gallen shocked the world a bit here by posting a 6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 8 K outing against the Dodgers. I say it's shocking because of how bad Gallen has been in 2025. The former ace is posting career worsts in xwOBACON (.405), K% (21.1%), and Barrel rate (10%). According to Fangraphs, the Stuff+ across his whole arsenal is at a career low of 92. I'm not expect...2025

Brandon Lowe (2B-TB) went 1-3 with a 2-run shot and a walk against Cleveland on Wednesday. The 31 year-old has finally stayed healthy, and that's been good for fantasy owners as he's hit .264 with 26 dingers, 65 RBI, and 66 runs scored across 452 PA this season. Since reaching the majors back in 2018, Lowe has recorded more PA in a single season only once before this year - in 2021. As usual, he's...2025

• Ben Rice Looks Ready to Finish Strong - August 26, 2025
Drake Baldwin (C-ATL) was the lone bright spot offensively for Atlanta on Monday against the Marlins as he went 1-3 with a walk and a solo blast to score the team's only run of the game. The 24 year-old rookie batted 6th in this one as his recent slump has slid him out of the top of the lineup. In his last 7 games before this contest, Baldwin was hitting just .167 with no homers, 6 RBI, and 4 runs...2025
