Every once in a while, I’ll get the hankering to get into a really competitive dynasty league or two. I was watching my guys, Tim Kanak and Doc Eisenhauer talk about some prospects last night and I got that urge. Check that out here, they are two of my favorite guys in the fantasy baseball space.
The dynasty urge usually goes away, but who knows, maybe I’ll take the plunge this offseason. An MLB Data Warehouse dynasty league could be a fun thing to start up. But I’d probably want to actually vet the people looking to join. Being the commissioner of a dynasty league seems like hell, having to constantly replace people who quit or just don’t manage their teams.
One of the guys they talked about there was Jonah Tong. And he’s a little bit more interesting now since it looks like Griffin Canning will be out for a long time. Tong is a Mets pitching prospect with a 1.88 ERA, a 0.91 WHIP, a 41% K%, and an 11.5% BB% in the minors this year. He is doing all of this in AA, which makes it pretty unlikely that he gets a call this year.
There’s also a question about child labor laws and how those work in New York. The Mets are claiming this guy is 22 years old, but honestly, he looks closer to 12.
I know a lot of you are probably about to pick up the phone and start calling the authorities about possible exploitation here. But you don’t have to do that, I’m on the case. I looked at more pictures of the guy, and he doesn’t always look this young. There are also no credible allegations about an athlete lying about their age in this direction. Juan Soto might be 57 right now, I’ll admit that, but if Tong was going to lie it he would be saying he’s actually younger than he is, not older.
After looking more into it, I realized that I’ve seen this guy before. Because he has a pretty funky delivery, he’s super over-the-top.
That’s interesting. The AA numbers are incredible, and he’s someone to watch and surely roster in the dynasty leagues that are out there.
But more likely, we’ll see either Nolan McLean or Brandon Sproat get the call. Here’s what they’ve done this year in AAA:
Sproat has been a disaster, what in the world! COME ON. I drafted this guy a couple of times on NFBC.
Last year, he went for a 28.3% K% and a 9.1% BB%, but then this year he loses 12 points on the K% and adds two points to the BB%. Real nice.
Nolan McLean’s numbers are much better, but still not very good with the 13.2% K-BB% and 23% K%. Let’s get into the advanced business (AAA numbers only):
Both guys can get ground balls, which is good, but the K-BB% keeps their JA ERA (read: SIERA) very poor. If it is one of those two they call up, it would be tough for me to recommend them being added in fantasy leagues.
I think they should just go ahead and take the Tongs out of the drawer baby, let’s go for it. Who needs AAA? Get your best guy Tong up there and see what he does. I think kids get to run the bases after the games on Sundays, so that could be extra fun for Jonah!
I’m starting to slightly wonder if these daily notes are getting close to being too widely read for me to justify making jokes like I do. At some point, I should probably chill out. I mean, I’ve already chilled out on a few things, but I should consider chilling out even more. But we’re going to keep it moving here. I don’t really think Juan Soto is nearing Social Security eligibility. It’s all jokes.
Someone in our Discord mentioned Taylor Ward’s home/road splits. So that made me think it might be fun/interesting to see the biggest home/road split differences of the year. This is at least like 75% randomness with such a small sample size, so don’t take it very seriously.
Here are the guys with the biggest split in favor of their home games.
Bichette has a .923 OPS at home and a .536 mark on the road.
Caminero has 13 of his 20 homers at home with a .597 SLG at home and just .400 on the road.
It makes sense that Caminero would do better at home. You should always put this stuff into the ballpark context in your head. Some guys, you would expect pretty significant splits (Caminero), some guys who play in pretty neutral home ballparks, you wouldn’t expect that (Bichette). But it’s possible. Maybe Bichette just sees the ball really well at home because his eyes are used to the backdrop or something.
And in general terms, you do expect hitters to perform a bit better at home. I took the average of the sample here (I required 100 PAs both on the road and at home to study) and found this:
Hitters at Home: 112 wRC+
Hitters on Road: 108 wRC+
The reason they’re both well above the league average (100 wRC+) is that minimum PA requirement. I filtered out a ton of the bad hitters in the league who aren’t good enough play enough to qualify here. But you can see the four-point difference there.
What does that have to do with? I’m not sure. The ballpark stuff cancels out, so it’s not that. It probably just has to do with the comfort of usual surroundings. You probably sleep a little better when you’re in your own bed. The opposing pitchers are probably a little bit worse since they’re in uncommon bullpens and dugouts and hotels and whatever. Interesting stuff.
Here’s the data the other way around, the hitters who have excelled much more on the road:
So we see Taylor Ward there, as one of my readers spotted. But the biggest difference belongs to Dillon Dingler.
Again, this is all mostly random. But we do see some of the guys in those tough home ballparks like Dinger (DET), Witt (KC), Garcia (KC), and Pasquantino (KC). Although, didn’t the Royals do way better at home last year? I thought I remembered being suspicious about what they were doing at home… HMMMMMMMMMMM!
Let me check.
2024
Royals at home: .260/.317/.420
Royals on road: .236/.288/.388
2025
Royals at home: .236/.281/.330
Royals on road: .250/.302/.397
They were way better at home last year, and now they’re way better on the road this year.
Human beings like to have an explanation for everything. We’re uncomfortable with the unknown or the unexplained. Because of that, we end up assuming that nefarious things are happening when they aren’t. Most of the time, randomness rules, and weird stuff happens for no particular reason you can point to.
That isn’t to say that there are no conspiracies or cheaters or people with their fingers on the scales. It’s just to say that that doesn’t happen nearly as often as some people like to think.
I saw yesterday that the NBA is going to use ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE to try to find out why they have SEVEN Achilles tears this year after they didn’t have any last year. And who knows, maybe they’ll find something. Maybe there really is an explanation there. But I think it’s pretty likely that it’s just a random occurrence. Zero and seven are small numbers. And two season is a small sample.
It doesn’t hurt to look into it. Although, that’s not always true. Sometimes, by looking into things, you end up coming out with a false explanation just because you’re so desperate for an explanation. And, depending on what the explanation is, you can end up instituting some “fix” that actually makes things worse.
It’s like getting screened for diseases that you have no symptoms of. I read about this in a book once. It was like just getting routine breast cancer screenings or something. It’s actually not as good of an idea as it sounds like, because of the existence of false positives. There’s some percentage of screenings that give a false positive. Even if the rate of that is like 0.5%, it only takes 200 people to get screened for one of them to be told they have breast cancer when they actually don’t.
There have been cases of people then taking severe actions after getting that false positive, or they just end up adding a completely unnecessary burden or stress on their lives.
I’m not saying never get screened for stuff, I’m sure that idea would make plenty of people angry. I’m saying that if you’re going to get a test for something you have no really good reason to believe you have, do the test at least twice. Check things two or three times, and then you won’t have to worry about the possibility of a false positive.
But I don’t think anybody has any use for my advice about this kind of stuff. I just thought that the general concept was interesting.
Our boy Dietrich Enns had a really nice outing. I did not realize how old that guy was. I wrote about him yesterday as if he were a prospect. But no, he was drafted by the Yankees back in 2012. This guy is my age!
And yesterday wasn’t even his Major League debut. Far from it! He made a couple of appearances for the Twins in 2017 and then again for the Rays in 2021.
So this is a pretty cool story, I suppose. The guy has been grinding in the minor leagues for a really long time. But who knows, maybe he can hang around on the Major League roster for the Tigers this year. He’s been great in the minors and looked sharp yesterday:
5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 4 K, 2 BB, 16.9% SwStr%, 28.6% Ball%
The pitch mix:
The fastball and changeup were dominant. This was against a pretty subpar Athletics lineup in Detroit, so the environment was nice for him. But you don’t see too many guys grabbing seven whiffs on 37 four-seamers thrown.
Knowing his age and history better now will raise the bar quite a ways for me to think he should be owned in fantasy leagues. It’s also quite, quite possible that he’s back in AAA tomorrow. I doubt the Tigers view him as a part of their Major League unit. But shoutout to Dietrich Enns. You’ve now accomplished the alluring achievement of being talked about in the daily notes. Which is way more cool and impressive than winning a game in the Major Leagues.
Shota Imanaga threw 77 pitches in his return to the Majors. He gave up just one hit and no runs on a 3:1 K:BB. He’s an everyday starter in fantasy leagues, but I do want to remind some people that he hasn’t looked all that impressive under the hood this year.
The K% should come up, I think? The 13.3% SwStr% would suggest a 25-27% K%, but he’s at just 18.7%. But he hasn’t looked like a high K guy overall in his MLB career. He has a 22.9% K% in his last 21 starts dating back to last year’s All Star Break. He’s giving up another super high FB% at 38%, and yet he’s benefited thus far from a low 13% HR/FB.
Maybe that’s just a skill of his, to generate weak fly balls. But I have my doubts about that. I think he’s a lot riskier than people will assume when they see his career 2.70 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. If he’s going to be a 20% K% guy with a 35%+ FB%, that’s going to turn into some really rough outings when the variance doesn’t go his way.
Shane Baz popped off.
8 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 9 SO, 1 BB
What a strange guy. And since I’m in the business of face analysis today, I can say that he’s a bit strange in that arena as well.
Just a tough day to take a headshot, I think. You don’t see many white mustaches. I didn’t even really know that was possible for a 26-year-old. Is it dyed? It’s all very confusing. Is it possible that Jonah Tong is actually 12, and he took those ten years from Shane Baz, who is actually 36? Even 36 though, you shouldn’t have gray hair yet, right?
I don’t know what to say about the Bazinator. He looked elite for five starts, and then looked completely awful for about six starts, and then it’s been a mix of both for the last five starts.
The advanced stats by month:
I do see some pitch mix changes here. He scrapped the slider on June 5th, and he added a cutdaddy on June 15th. Since that 6/15 start:
32% cutter usage! He’s throwing 68% fastballs, but the cutter has been marvelous with a 16.3% SwStr% and a 51% Strike% on a .203 xwOBA.
Maybe ‘marvelous’ is too bold a word. The root there is marvel, which means to be filled with wonder or astonishment.
The cutter does not fill me wonder or astonishment. But maybe that’s not fair, because I haven’t actually seen it thrown. I’m only seeing numbers. Let’s give this a shot. I will clear my mind, watch this pitch, and then see what kind of emotions and feelings fill me.
I am unfilled.
He has a 3.44 JA ERA, a 15.4% K-BB%, and a .290 xwOBA allowed in these last three starts. That seems to me to be a guy who is about a league-average (ish) starter who is on a good and somewhat lucky run now.
But it will always be a little more interesting when guys improve after adding a new pitch, and that is what we’ve seen from Baz in June.
Kevin Gausman had the elite start that we knew was coming.
Just when you think the guy is cooked, he drops a 30-burger. Just when you think he’s an ace, he goes below zero. You just can’t know what Gausman is going to give you. And shout out to me, I’ve been telling you all season long that I have no idea what Gausman will do from week to week. I am so good at telling you guys that I don’t know what is going to happen.
Another big day for Agustin Ramirez. He homered again and added two more hits to score 28 DraftKings points (led the day).
The season update:
.247/.294/.466, 17.4% K%, 6.4% BB%, 10.6% Brl%, .286 xBA, .360 xwOBA
It’s an impressive line. He has a dozen homers in 235 PAs, that’s a very good home run rate. He continues to hit the ball hard (109.2 EV90) and make a good amount of contact (87% Zone Contact%). That’s a special skillset, and I think this guy is going to be a very, very good Major League hitter. In fantasy leagues right now, I’d just be starting him every week. He’ll have down weeks, as we’ve seen, but I do think the net result will be very positive.
Rafael Devers hit his second dinger as a Giant. He’s hit .257/.350/.486 in his first 40 PAs with his new team.
It’s not like Devers was on a true MVP pace, but interleague trades are kind of goofy. Imagine he was the front-runner for MVP prior to the trade. Getting moved to a team in the other league immediately takes you out of the MVP discussion.
I am guessing that at least a few guys have not won an MVP award that they would’ve otherwise won because of a trade. Nobody comes to mind, but it’s probably happened. This would apply to the Cy Young as well.
Having separate awards for the different leagues doesn’t make as much sense anymore. It made a lot of sense before 1997 or whenever they began interleague play. And it still made some sense while the leagues had different rules (DH), but now with the leagues being exactly the same and playing each other more and more each year, it really doesn’t make sense anymore.
Nobody benefits from the awards being cut in half, though. So I don’t know what my idea would be to change it.
I do remember being a kid and being really intrigued by interleague play. My memory is that the Pirates would play one or two interleague series a year. And for some reason, I got really hyped about that. The rarity of it made it intriguing. That’s another rule of life: things that don’t happen very often are more interesting. It’s kind of like when Tommy Pham gets a hit.
If we’re going for full evenness and fairness, I’d say that we should get rid of divisions and leagues entirely. Mister Manfred, tear down these walls!
The world is such a different place now as compared to when MLB really got going. I’m no aviation expert, but I’m pretty sure that widespread availability of commercial flight didn’t really happen until the 50s or so. Maybe I should fact-check myself on that.
Check that out!
You couldn’t ask the New York Yankees to play the San Francisco Giants back then. And that’s for two reasons.
→ The drive would take several days
→ The San Francisco Giants didn’t even exist
I looked at the 1945 MLB standings:
Boston and St. Louis are pretty freaking far away. I mean, that’s more than a day's drive.
So how did they do that? I guess they just didn’t play nearly as frequently.
What am I even talking about here? I legitimately have to scroll up to even find out what got me here. Ah yes, getting rid of division and leagues.
That’s completely and totally feasible right now. It would still cost the teams a little more in travel expenses, since most of the divisions are still mostly geographically close. But money and travel time is no longer a problem for MLB.
Eventually, we’ll get there. I’d imagine that there’s no such thing as the National and American League in like 50 years.
I’ve gotta wrap it here. We’re traveling this weekend. My wife is throwing her sister a baby shower, so it’s a whole ordeal. We’re staying in a hotel with the three kids, and that’s the first time we’ll be doing that. It will be interesting. I’m not exactly sure what my wife and I are supposed to do when the kids are asleep in the hotel room at like 9pm. I guess just sit there and read a book quietly. And then what do we do when the kids are wide awake at 6:30 am? Just watch TV for as long as we can take that, I guess, and spend a lot of time at the hotel’s breakfast.
But I’m guessing the daily notes will be very abbreviated tomorrow and Sunday. Which is probably okay after the mess I’ve dropped on you here.
