Teoscar Hernandez - Promising or Pretender? rotoballer.com Fri 1/4/19 9:00 AM

Every new beginning signifies an end elsewhere. This was the case for Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez last season. The hard-hitting righty broke through in more ways than one in his first full year in the big leagues, finishing with a .239/.302/.468 line, and most importantly 22 home runs. The path to the plate wasnt clear-cut for Hernandez, though. An injury to Blue Jays' third baseman Josh Donaldson opened up a spot on the 25-man roster, but before that, expectations were tepid.[...]

Statcast Review - 2018 Hitting Leaders (Exit Velocity) rotoballer.com Fri 11/16/18 9:30 AM

After a full fantasy season of using Statcast measures to predicting risers and fallers each week, its time to take a step back and view the big picture. One of the most straightforward Statcast measurements we relied on was exit velocity or the speed the ball comes off the bat immediately after being hit.It is well known that certain players consistently mash the ball (Aaron Judge, Joey Gallo, Giancarlo Stanton, J.D. Martinez) and, not surprisingly, they made their way to the top of the list fo[...]

R+RBI Fallers: 2018 MLB Season Recap rotoballer.com Mon 11/5/18 7:40 AM

The 2018 season has now come and gone (so sad!), so it is now time to dive into trends and projections for next season! Run production, that is R+RBI, is a key trend to monitor, as there are tight correlations to both slugging percentage and on base percentage with the respective numbers.Let's start with the fact that there were only eight players in baseball that tallied 100 runs scored and 100 RBI, with only two of those players repeating the feat from 2017. It is obvious those that fell off o[...]

New York Yankees outfielders Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks and shortstop Didi Gregorius are all out of Sundays lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees are likely just giving these guys a breather after clinching a Wild Card spot Saturday night. Giancarlo Stanton will man right field, with Andrew McCutchen in center and Adeiny Hechavarria drawing the start at short. Feel obliged to fire up your other pinstripe starters as necessary.

Aaron Judge Goes Hitless In Return To Lineup rotoballer.com Tue 9/18/18 11:37 PM

At long last, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge made his return to the starting lineup just in time for the club to host the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night in the Bronx. The 26-year-old, who was out since late July with a wrist injury, batted second and started in right field. The All-Star would go hitless in four plate appearances, hitting the ball hard a couple of times but failing to reach base. The Yankees will probably have to be patient with Judge, as he didn't go on any rehab assignm[...]
