Top Five MLB Pitching Staffs: 2024 Power Rankings

The conventional wisdom among baseball fans is that pitching is what often wins championships. You not only need a deep rotation to withstand a 162-game season and the inevitable injuries, but you also need a couple of aces at the top of that rotation to help carry you through the postseason. And on top of […]

Starting Pitchers Values To Outperform ADP For Fantasy Baseball Drafts (2024)

Later-Round Pitcher Values for WHIP - Fantasy Baseball Draft Targets (2024)

When drafting pitchers, we usually prioritize strikeouts, ERA, wins, and saves before the fifth category in standard 5x5 leagues - WHIP. Plenty of very effective pitchers in Major League Baseball manage run prevention with elite control, great groundball rates, or the ability to induce soft contact. I have always held that WHIP was an underrated […]
