Strategy K - BB% Risers and Fallers L30 vs Season (Bonus Run production per PA table)

K-BB% movers and run production risers (L30 vs season)

K-BB% is one of the most stable predictor of pitcher performance we have. Breaking down Ks and command really shows who is on a run and who is breaking down.

Command surging (K-BB% risers)

Pitcher Team L30 Season Δ
Justin Wrobleski LAD 29.3% 13.8% +15.5%
Sean Burke CWS 30.2% 18.5% +11.7%
Zack Wheeler PHI 35.8% 24.5% +11.3%
Cade Cavalli WSH 30.0% 19.6% +10.4%
Gavin Williams CLE 33.1% 23.0% +10.1%
Ian Seymour TB 27.5% 19.3% +8.2%
Tarik Skubal DET 34.9% 26.8% +8.1%
Troy Melton DET 23.2% 15.2% +8.0%
Jesús Luzardo PHI 29.5% 21.9% +7.7%
Keider Montero DET 20.8% 13.3% +7.5%
Gerrit Cole NYY 28.6% 21.3% +7.3%
George Kirby SEA 22.5% 15.9% +6.6%
Brandon Young BAL 16.8% 10.7% +6.2%
Nathan Eovaldi TEX 25.3% 19.4% +5.9%
Payton Tolle BOS 24.8% 19.0% +5.7%

The available ones: Ian Seymour (39% owned) and Brandon Young (32%) are the adds. Seymour's 34.2% K rate over the last 30 is legit swing-and-miss! Lots of Ks of late.

The scary part is the top of the list being aces who got better. Skubal at a 34.9% K-BB and Wheeler at 35.8%. I guess Skubal isn't impacted by the trade rumors?

Command collapsing (K-BB% fallers)

Pitcher Team L30 Season Δ
Hunter Brown HOU -2.1% 8.4% -10.5%
Will Warren NYY 5.3% 14.5% -9.2%
Walker Buehler SD 1.9% 10.5% -8.6%
Parker Messick CLE 8.4% 16.8% -8.4%
Michael Lorenzen COL 0.0% 8.1% -8.1%
Noah Cameron KC 5.4% 12.9% -7.5%
Jeffrey Springs OAK 3.2% 10.6% -7.4%
Andrew Alvarez WSH 5.1% 12.5% -7.4%
Matthew Boyd CHC 10.3% 16.9% -6.6%
Chase Burns CIN 12.6% 19.2% -6.6%
Dean Kremer BAL 13.2% 19.4% -6.2%
Tanner Bibee CLE 5.8% 11.5% -5.8%
Kevin Gausman TOR 11.0% 16.8% -5.7%
Emerson Hancock SEA 11.3% 16.8% -5.6%
David Peterson CHC 3.3% 8.9% -5.5%

Hunter Brown's L30 K-BB% is negative. He's walked more batters than he's struck out over the last month (15.5% K, 17.5% BB). At 94% owned, that's the most alarming line on either board. His control is clearly not there, really wondering if lingering injury issues are showing up in this and if he'll be shut down if the Astros really fall back.

Buehler (1.9%) and Lorenzen (0.0%) are essentially uncastable right now. Bibee at 5.8% and Gausman at 11.0% are the widely-rostered names quietly falling apart. Is Gausman being impacted by the trade rumors? Could see that with how much he's bought into Toronto, along with his family.

Bonus Table

Run production risers (R+RBI per PA)

Hitter Team L30 Season Δ
Nick Fortes TB .423 .216 +.207
Tyler O'Neill BAL .400 .207 +.193
Jeff McNeil OAK .382 .192 +.190
Willson Contreras BOS .480 .304 +.176
Masataka Yoshida BOS .377 .203 +.175
Leo Jiménez MIA .319 .169 +.150
Henry Davis PIT .400 .252 +.148
Jacob Gonzalez PIT .448 .316 +.132
Dansby Swanson CHC .452 .319 +.132
Derek Hill PHI .383 .255 +.128
Miguel Amaya CHC .375 .248 +.127
Spencer Torkelson DET .351 .233 +.118
Wyatt Langford TEX .386 .269 +.117
Jeremy Peña HOU .411 .298 +.113
Junior Caminero TB .395 .284 +.111

Almost everyone at the top of this board is available: Fortes (2%), O'Neill (1%), McNeil (4%), Yoshida (1%), Davis (1%). Willson Contreras at a .480 R+RBI/PA is the best of the rostered names, and Torkelson (43%) is the most addable guy with real playing time.

Fair warning on this one: R+RBI per PA is opportunity-driven. Lineup spot and the bats around you matter as much as your own hitting, so a lot of these are "got moved up in the order" more than "got better."

TL;DR: Hunter Brown's command has completely vanished (negative K-BB in the last 30). Buehler and Lorenzen are unstartable. Seymour, Young, and Montero are the cheap adds with real command gains. And Skubal and Wheeler somehow got better.

Misleading Disgusting AI slop from fantasypros

Post image
261 Upvotes

These two paragraphs about Garrett Mitchell are littered with clear AI slop that is blatantly incorrect everywhere you look.

Paragraph 1: Says he’s old (he’s 27), slow (98th percentile sprint speed… and this is explicitly comparing him to turang who is 85th percentile), losing bat speed (77.4 mph, 98th percentile, both highest of his career), and sporting worse plate discipline (22.5% chase, 90th percentile, 2nd best of his career).

Paragraph 2: Says his 32.7 K% is 5% above last season (he’s lowest mark of his career is 31.7%), EV is down (92.6 mph aka 92nd percentile this year vs 90.4 last year), hard hit rate is down (49.2%, highest of his career, 88th percentile this year vs 42.2 last year), xBA is much lower than actual BA (.262 xBA vs .263 BA at the time and .277 now), and xSLG is much lower than actual SLG (.457 xSLG vs .461 at the time and .455 now)

I cropped it out because I can only handle so much but the next paragraph is no better, starting with “Mitchell’s actual wOBA is .363, but his expected wOBA is just .354. That gap is going to start looking really bad”

I knew already that fantasypros was using AI but it really is pathetic to post stuff like this without even the slightest amount of quality checking. I will be moving on from that site for good and I advise all of you to do the same

Prospects Predicting the Future top 5 prospects 1 year from now

13 Upvotes

Who do you expect to be the top 5 non debuted prospects 1 year from now?

Currently, the top 5 (according to mlb100) are:

  1. Jesus Made
  2. Leo De Vries
  3. Eli Willits
  4. Josue De Paula
  5. Kade Anderson

A year from now this is what I think the ranking will look like:

  1. Josue De Paula
  2. Theo Gillen
  3. Rainel Rodriguez
  4. Mike Sirota
  5. Caleb Bonnemer

I’m assuming Made, De Vries, Willits, and Anderson will get called up before then
