Hitter Advanced Metrics Risers and Fallers - xBA for Week 7

Last week, we dove into xwOBA (expected weighted on-base average) to see who is really maximizing their time at the plate. It's time we look at xBA (expected batting average) but with a twist. Some players are experiencing better batted-ball fortunes than others and it's bound to turn around at some point. Rather than examining […]

Anthony Rizzo Comes Back Down To Earth In May

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo has just one home run and a .587 OPS in May. This comes after a scorching-hot April that saw him lead baseball with nine home runs.

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

As a […]

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox.
