Statcast Pitcher Studs and Duds - xwOBA
The season rolls on and we have more data to digest by the day. Since many regular starting pitchers have taken at least three or four turns in the rotation, I will focus on Statcast data for those who have faced a minimum of 50 batters so far. This narrows the field to 101 pitchers,... Read More

Statcast Pitcher Studs and Duds - Exit Velocity
It's fair to say we have enough Statcast data now to dig into the numbers and start identifying early risers and fallers.

Where Have the Steals Gone? (Hint: Not Your Fantasy Team)
A common refrain among baseball analysts and fantasy managers is that the 2020 MLB season is meaningless. We can't extrapolate anything useful from a 60-game season. The numerous injuries, illnesses, and opt-outs make for an unreliable data sample. If you chose to play season-long fantasy baseball, you don't care. You still want to win, asterisks... Read More
