Those are your big three for the day. Crochet is now at 76 innings, and that’s more than he threw in the Majors from 2020-2023. He threw just six in 2020, 54 in 2021, missed the whole 2022 season, and then threw 12 in 2023. So how long can he do this?
I kinda thought he was dying out in late-April there but nope, these last three starts have been his best stretch so far. It’s certainly not impossible to add triple-digits to your innings count in one season. It’s not like your arm is certain to fall off your body after you get to +90 or something. Here are some names that added 100+ innings to their innings from 2022 to 2023:
You know how good Glasnow was last year after getting healthy, so it’s not impossible. The more interesting question is probably what the White Sox will do with him. Crochet is 24 and the White Sox are clearly not going anywhere. They might be looking to trade him as their first priority, and if that happens then certainly his new team would want him down the stretch - which would be good for fantasy purposes. If they hold him though, you’d have to think they’d want to take it easy with him.
I’d still be trying to shop him around a bit but I’m wanting a very strong return, this isn’t a situation where you dump for him for whatever the best offer is.
Reese Olson got o-b-l-i-t-e-r-a-t-ed and the guy who had Olson in my league rage dropped him in like the 4th inning of his start. There’s nothing like a good mid-start rage drop in fantasy, I love that.
4 IP, 12 H, 8 ER, 6 K, 1 BB
It was actually a pretty good 15.7% SwStr%. This kind of outing can happen to anybody, baseball is random, but I will not stop beating the drum that pitchers with bad fastballs are at a significant disadvantage. Olson’s four-seamer is now at a 4.1% SwStr% and 42% Strike%:
The league averages for four-seamers are a 10.7% SwStr% and 50% Strike%. That 42% Strike% is third-worst in the league (250 FF thrown minimum) to Joe Boyle and Griffin Canning.
Concerning to see Jesus Luzardo and Zac Gallen here as well, but that’s for another time. This isn’t new for Olson either, it’s been this way since he came up. I would never feel comfortable with that guy in any spot, so if you had the virtue to avoid the rage-drop last night, I think it’s perfectly fine to do a cool-head drop this morning.
Bryce Miller fell victim to the Royals juggernaut:
5 IP, 6 H, 7 ER, 1 K, 3 BB
The Royals have a team K% below 19% and their team OPS is in the top-ten. They’re a legitimate tough matchup. Miller was probably my favorite price-considered SP target this year, and overall it’s been fine. He has an elite 1.02 WHIP, but the ERA is bloated now at 3.81. The strikeouts haven’t been what I thought, but they’re fine at 24% and the walk rate is also fine at 7.4%.
The four-seamer is still great with the 16.5% SwStr% and 53% Strike%, it’s one of the best four-seamers in the league (for SPs), and the new splitter has been pretty decent as well, but not quite enough to get him into elite pitcher territory. He’s still must-own and must-start in most matchups, but there’s still some work here to do.
But since we just hit Olson and Miller back to back, it’s a good time to re-iterate my rule. If you’re choosing between a pitcher with a good fastball and bad secondaries and a pitcher with a bad fastball and good secondaries, take the good fastball guy.
I had this thought yesterday about comparing overall swinging-strike rates with two-strike swinging strike rates and seeing which pitchers have the biggest differences. I have a lot of ideas for stuff to look at during the day, and I’m guessing most of them are completely forgotten by the time I get time to look or write them down. But this one stuck.
The league average swinging strike rate this year is 12%. With two strikes, it’s 14.5%. So we have a +2.5 point bias to begin with.
Here are the 20 biggest differentials:
The largest is Sonny Gray, which is not surprising to me. Overall he has a 13.8% SwStr%, but with two strikes he’s way up there at 21.6%. That towers over the rest of the pitchers by 86 points.
I don’t have the time to prove this next point, but I would bet that this is not something that is skill-based (or “sticky” as we say). Meaning that there’s a lot of randomness in the difference. There’s not much randomness in the two-strike SwStr%, but I really doubt there’s a pitcher skill that allows them to reliably out-perform their usual performance in two-strike counts.
There are plenty of strikeout rate over-performers here. Sonny Gray’s 33% K% really doesn’t make a lot of sense given the overall SwStr% which would predict something like 27%, so this explains some of that. He’s been absolutely elite at putting batters away in two-strike counts and I really would not think that’s likely to continue.
Seeing names like Tanner Houck, Reynaldo Lopez, Bailey Falter, and Luis Gil all in the top 15 makes me feel pretty good about this being a decent indicator of strikeout over-performance. I’d expect all of those guys to do a bit worse in strikeouts moving forward (with Lopez and Gil I was already convinced about that, so this confirms).
The inverse of this idea would be true as well. Here’s the bottom 20, and I would say most of these guys can be expected to increase their strikeout rates as they start getting a few more whiffs on two-strike counts:
The thought process here is much like other analytical ways of thinking. The idea that players can improve their performance in certain situations is likely false. If Sonny Gray could really generate a 20% SwStr%, he wouldn’t wait for two-strike counts to do it. And if a player can really be a .350 hitter, he wouldn’t wait for the playoffs to do it.
I get pushback on that idea, and I think that’s because it’s probably only true at the highest levels. The mental side of the game is real, and certainly amateurs and especially school-aged kids will have differing levels of performing under pressure. But by the time you get to the highest level, the people who can’t perform under pressure are weeded out, and the mental side of the game is diminished - at least in the way I’m talking about here.
If you think I’m stupid, just stop thinking I’m stupid, that hurts my feelings.
You can check out the full data table here, but it won’t be updated daily like my other stuff.
I have continually failed to highlight hitter standouts in the notes, so I feel like I need to get back into that. Over the years I’ve been able to identify some mid-season breakout bats that have made a big difference on my own fantasy teams, so I need to get the 2024 search gassed up. The success I’ve had with this is using the magic formula. Which is barrels and strikeout rates. There haven’t been many surprising names on that list throughout the year in these notes, but let’s zoom out a bit.
Let’s look at May-June for hitters with double-digit barrel rates and sub-25% strikeout rates. You can do this yourself at any time with the main MLB dashboard.
Mostly we see names that are already universally owned in fantasy, but with this loose criteria there should be a few that show up that are of interest to us.
Jarren Duran hasn’t had the best power season with just five homers, but recently that pace has picked up with a pretty good 37.5 PA/HR. That’s close to the league average homer rate, and a league-average supply of homers from Duran would be awesome given his speed. He’s probably rostered in your league but you might be able to trade for him for a good price.
JJ Bleday has been popping up a lot this year and he continues having success. He’s been surprisingly consistent, and that is a testament to his much-improved strikeout rate (his 19% K% is down more than five points from his career average)
Nick Gonzales shows up here as well. His .362 xwOBA is fantastic and he’s another guy that has wildly improved in strikeouts. Last year in the Majors he struck out 28% of the time, and in the minors 27%. This year in the Majors he’s at 22.5%, and he showed that improvement in the minors as well at 17.5%. He seems to be more of a line-drive hitter than a fly ball guy, so the 12% Brl% might not turn into a ton of homers, but there will be some and the AVG/SLG will be nice if this stuff continues. I think he’s an add in any 12-team league or deeper.
Andrew Vaughn is a very deep league target, after a pitiful first month he’s been pretty good with a .762 OPS and six homers since May began. The GB% is way down to 30% and the Brl% is nice at 11.5% to go with his normal good K% (21%).
Jesus Sanchez has been hitting the ball well all year and the results have recently started coming. He qualifies here, but still isn’t playing against lefties and has just two homers to show for his efforts. He’s only a deep-league option where you can change your roster daily.
Ty France has still been meh for fantasy, but since May 15th he has an .895 OPS with four homers, a 22% K%, and a 15% Brl%.
I don’t love any of those names besides Duran and Gonzales, so let’s check some low-owned xwOBA leaders for the last month (100 PA minimum).
Matt Chapman .435
Giancarlo Stanton .399
Joey Ortiz .387
Jurickson Profar .386
Andrew Vaughn .386
Christopher Morel .386
Taylor Ward .380
Brent Rooker .379
Andrew McCutchen .373
Ryan McMahon .371
J.D. Martinez .369
Heliot Ramos .367
Brenton Doyle .365
Jarren Duran .364
Nick Gonzales .362
Ryan Mountcastle .355
A lot of those guys are probably rostered, but just to make sure you know - the must-owns here are Morel, McMahon, Ward, and Duran. I’d probably also add Stanton and Chapman if available just because they’re pretty reliable for what they give you.
You also have to prefer the young bats here as well if you’re choosing, and that means Ortiz, Ramos, and Gonzales.
Hope that helps. My kids slept a little longer today and my mother-in-law took Trea Baby for a walk, so the credit for an extensive Saturday Daily Notes goes to all of those people.
Enjoy your freakin weekend!
