  • • 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.  Willy Adames SS SFG Despite Milwaukee's Ivory Tower letting Willy fly to the heavy air in the Bay, Adames continue...2025

  • • Cody Bellinger's Big Season in New York-August 31, 2025
    Wyatt Langford-Rangers-OF Wyatt Langford was 0-3 with 1 RBI and 3 BB against the Athletics. Langford came into the game swinging a hot bat (.356 AVG, 3 HR, 16 R, 6 RBI, and 2 SB in his last 14 GP). He is hitting .250 with 19 HR, 65 R, 55 RBI, and 18 SB in 500 PA. It hasn't been a bad season because he is going to join the 20 HR/20 SB club, but fantasy owners were expecting more from him. He hit ...2025
  • • A Healthy Brandon Lowe is a Fantasy Asset - August 28, 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

  • • A Rockie Return? - August 22, 2025
    Brenton Doyle (OF - COL) - Doyle homered again on Thursday, giving him 6 now in August as he continues to drag himself out of his slump that lasted all the way until late June. If you just looked at the underlying stats, you'd think that Doyle was having a better year than 2024: he's making more contact (74.3% vs. 73%), and the contact is better (EV 90.3 vs. 89.1). The fair conclusion here, in my ...2025
  • • Spencer Strider Isn't Right - August 19, 2025
    Michael Harris II (OF-ATL) continued his second-half turnaround against the White Sox on Monday as he went 4-4 with a 2-run blast. After a lousy start to the season, the 24 year-old now claims a .260 average to go with 15 homers, 66 RBI, 43 runs scored, and 14 steals across 494 PA on the year. Entering Monday's game, Harris was hitting .378 with 8 big flies, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, and 2 steals ov...2025

    Royce Lewis (SS-MIN) is back on the IL with what is reportedly a mild hamstring strain; he already missed him with a strain of the same (left) hamstring this season. The talented but oft-injured 26 year-old is looking at another abbreviated campaign as he's hitting just .202 with 2 homers, 9 RBI, and 10 runs scored across just 110 PA so far this season.

    • Questions (and some answers) from the first three weeks of the Brewers’ season
    Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports What have we learned so far? The Milwaukee Brewers are off to a good start, at 11-6 and leading the NL Central at the end of play on Wednesday, despite dropping their first series of the year this week against San Diego. Their offense, even after a couple of down days, has looked far better than almost anyone expected. What can we glean from the team’s first thr...2024

    Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Justin Steele and Brandon Woodruff pitched a tight matchup for six innings... but the Cubs’ pen couldn’t hold the lead. Today, the complaint department is open. Here’s mine: Why is it, that when an opposing hitter is literally trying to make an out, the Cubs pitcher can’t throw strikes?

  • • Bailey Ober, 2022 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
    Bailey Ober gave up a lot of home runs. 20, to be exact. That was only in 92 1/3 IP. His 1.95 HR/9 made me choke on my boba. That alone is a crime punishable by "not getting a fantasy baseball sleeper post written for him." Bailey Ober's pitches generated a 19.7 Launch Angle. If you're going to allow a 45.8% fly ball rate, which would've been 2nd in the league, if he qualified, you kinda can't be ...2022

  • • Luis Urias, 2022 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper
    Like someone practicing tantric sex, this has been a long time coming. The only thing that nearly stopped me from writing this post was because I wrote a Willy Adames sleeper, but that's no reason to not think a Luis Urias sleeper is possible. *counting double negatives* One "no reason," two "not think"...are "nearly" or "but" negatives too?
