Identifying Last Year’s Hitting Outliers for Fantasy Baseball - Was It Just A Fluke?

I consider one of my greatest skills as a fantasy manager to be my ability to make the “unsexy pick.” When youngsters with tantalizing upside are gradually floating up the draft board, I typically stray away from the temptation and grab myself a more trusty, high-floor veteran to help keep my team afloat. As a […]

Starting Pitchers Breaking Out for Fantasy Baseball: Part II - The New Strikeout Kings

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about pitchers who were striking out a lot of hitters and focused in particular on some pitchers who had seen major increases in their strikeout rates when compared to their 2021 seasons. That article can be found here and I got a lot of great feedback on it, […]

Preseason Hitter Sleepers Who Haven't Woken Up for Fantasy Baseball

The highs of sleeper hunting during draft season can quickly be brought low when our favorite later picks fizzle and sputter out of the gate instead of blowing the roof off from the word go. But should we be patient, grasshoppers? Or is it time to be proactive, revoking their sleeper status and confiscating official […]
