MILB, MLB and Fantasy Baseball
2025 MLB Futures Game Prospects
Prospect analysis on the 2025 MLB Futures Game Participants
Witt Jr., Busch, Burns and Prospect Watch
Michael Busch has a .566 SLG and a 166 wRC+ - both lead all first basemen. He’s averaging a career high 91.4 EV and getting to the barrel 15% of the time.
Raleigh, Wood, Cruz and Prospect Watch
Cal Raleigh is pacing for a .281/116/64/138/18 slash, which has only been accomplished once in MLB’s history. Who did it? Slammin’ Sammy Sosa! In 1998 Sosa delivered .308/134/66/158/18 for the Chicago Cubs.
Acuna Jr., Cam, Devers, and Prospect Watch
Ronald Acuna Jr. is having a huge impact since returning from his 2nd ACL repair. His production so far paces for an eye popping .392/147/51/95/7 over 162 games!
Bubic, Skenes, Braves and Prospect Watch
What’s the Fantasy Baseball trade value for Kris Bubic? He’s been amazing and the thing is it’s not a fluke. Bubic is now tied for 6th (Wheeler, Skenes) in SP WAR at 1.8.
Naylor Outrunning Carroll, Olson and Prospect Watch
Josh Naylor surprisingly has more bags than teammate Corbin Carroll - who also surprisingly has 14 home runs to Naylor’s 5. Yet both sit in the Top 50 Fantasy Baseball players YTD.
Off To A Slow Start - Hitters
We are closing in on the end of April, which is a good time to take a look at MLB Hitters off to slow start. Should we buy low, hold, or move on from players like Willy Adames, Dylan Crews, Cody Bellinger, Ezequiel Tovar, Adley Rutschman and many others?
Around the Horn
Logan Henderson mowed down Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom in the 6th and final inning of his MLB Debut Sunday!
Mining The MLB Leaderboard - Pitchers
Most likely to finish with a WHIP below 1.00: Logan Gilbert, Paul Skenes, Garrett Crochet, Cole Ragans, and let’s include Tarik Skubal even though he currently sits at a 1.01 WHIP.
Mining The MLB Leaderboard - Hitters
It’s been the Tyler Soderstrom ATH show so far in Sacremento. The A’s young slugger has popped an MLB best 8 home runs to go along with a .328 BA, .403 OBP, and 1.137 OPS. Is it real? I’m buying it and so are advanced metrics.
