AJ Smith-Shawver was the surprise of the night, I’d say. He took a no-hitter into the 8th inning and ended up with a pretty nice line.
8 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 5 K, 4 BB
That’s the good news. The bad news is that the underlying numbers we like the most weren’t good:
10.1% SwStr%, 41.4% Strike%, 39.9% Ball%
The numbers on the year are still somewhat enticing. This is a 22-year-old kid with a lot of alleged potential. So he’s been someone worth watching for awhile now, and he’ll continue to be, especially since he’s seemingly made some improvements this year.
5 GS, 23.7% K%, 11.4% BB%, 12.7% SwStr%, 44.1% Strike%, 37.7% Ball%
I don’t like any of those numbers. A 12% K-BB% is not what you want, and that’s a very low Strike%. He’s allowing a lot of balls in play. Previously, that was very bad news for him as he was prone to the longball. But he has managed that so far this year, giving up just three homers in 36.1 innings (AAA and MLB combined).
The 1.91 WHIP+ is about league average (that’s a measure of total bases allowed per innings). But the .368 xwOBA and high fly ball rate are pretty alarming.
I don’t think we have much in AJSS still. But he was a decent streaming options this week in the two-start schedule against the Reds at home and then in Pittsburgh. He’ll get the Nationals next week, so this is a good schedule for him to get some steam going.
Sandy Alcantara looked better, but still not good since he gave up five earned runs and brought the season ERA to 8.42.
7 GS, 31 IP, 8.42 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, 16.2% K%, 12.7% BB%, 1.7 HR/9
The good part of the outing was the 32.2% Ball% and improved 12.6% SwStr%. If he was going very well prior to these last two starts against the Dodgers, I think we all would have forgiven him. LA is a brutal matchup. His next start is against the White Sox, so it’s a good time to buy low on Sandy. And at this point, that could even mean picking him up off waivers!
I added some new stuff to the dashboard last night. First, I added “Barrel Coverage” to the “Barrel Details” tab. You can see the thinking behind that metric in this thread.
It is a measure of the range of power each hitter has. If you’re barreling balls all over the zone (or out of the zone even), you’ll grade highly here. And if your barrels are mostly concentrated in one area of the zone, you’ll grade low here. So, higher is better.
Here are the top guys (10 barrel minimum):
And your bottom guys with that same ten barrel minimum:
Here are visuals of what that looks like on the extremes.
The way I think you can use this is basically just to check to see if power is sustainable. But we’ll need more data for it to really mean anything, and overall, it’s not all that useful of a stat. I just thought it would be something cool to add on there.
There is also a new tab called “Hit Time Split”. It’s kind of clunky and weird. I made it mostly for myself. The purpose is just to quickly give you recent hitter stats. That’s helpful for me to have when I am analyzing players and whatnot.
Here’s what it looks like:
If you want to quickly see stats from the last seven days, click the “1” under “Last 7”:
That will be the last seven days for all teams, not just that player. It just looks at the last seven dates where games have been played and uses those.
I’ll probably be running some queries like this quite a bit:
This was
And that brings us to someone I just added to replace Yordan Alvarez, and that is Max Kepler. He has been looking fantastic in a Phillies uniform. And I don’t mean his physical appearance. Although, if you have a thing for German guys, there you go.
Max Kepler, 2025
Brl%: 11.6%
K%: 18.3%
xwOBA: .378
xBA: .294
xwOBA OE: +.023
EV90: 105.5
Barrel Pull: 50%
Pretty impressive stuff. And he’s playing a good amount. He’s started 27 of 34 games, and all 21 against righties. He has made just two starts against lefties. So, he is a platoon guy, but a good one.
In a daily lineup changes league, this really is a viable way to get an offensive boost. Find these platoon specialists who aren’t owned because they don’t play every day. We’re looking for left-handed bats. 75% of starts this year have been made by righties. So the “weak side” platoon guys don’t get enough run to really be worth a roster spot in most cases. Some of these recommendations:
Ryan O’Hearn (.319/.390/.652 vs. RHP this year)
Trent Grisham (.308/.368/.731 and leading off for NYY)
Max Kepler (.277/.362/.494)
Josh Smith (.359/.423/.594)
Mike Yastrzemski (.325/.435/.558)
Pavin Smith (.308/.438/.577)
Kameron Misner (.324/.368/.529)
Gavin Sheets (.299/.360/.494)
Jackson Holliday is on a heater. He homered twice on Sunday to bring his season line to:
97 PA, .273/.340/.443, 4 HR, 2 SB, 23% K%, 7.2% BB%
Last 15 days:
.379/.471/.586, .441 xwOBA
The underlying power numbers still aren’t all that great:
Brl%: 7.6%
xwOBA: .347
EV90: 104.6
GB%: 47%
None of those numbers are bad, they’re just not what you’re looking for if you’re hoping for a guy to be a 25-homer bat. Holliday has below-average bat speed as well, so I think the home run pace will be a bit slower than you might want for now.
But we know he can steal a bunch of bases, and it’s good to see him making more contact this year (77% Contact%). He’s in the big leagues to stay, I think.
Gleyber Torres is having a nice season so far. And this, after we made fun of poor Mitch so hard for drafting him!
4 HR, .291/.361/.465, 9.3% K%, 8.2% BB%, 82% Cont%, 11.5% Brl%, 4 SB
There are only ten hitters in the league this year with:
Brl% above 10%
Contact% above 80%
They are (ordered by PA):
Lars Nootbaar
Juan Soto
Alex Bregman
Shea Langeliers
Tommy Edman [IL]
Mike Yastrzemski
Gleyber Torres
Ryan O’Hearn
Carson Kelly
So there you go. I am sorry for making fun of you, Mitch.
Let me say a few words about the Ben Casparius situation. He functioned as the “bulk reliever” yesterday. Dreyer started the game, and the Casparius came in and threw four innings. He struck out five in that time with a 17.1% SwStr%. It was another solid outing. And the fastball velocity actually came up!
He threw a season-high 70 pitches. You would usually see the velo go in the opposite direction when piling on extra pitches. But that’s not how Casparius wanted to go about it.
For fantasy purposes, the bulk role for him is fantastic.
Baseball is an old game. I think it’s fair to say that humans the western world are way more logical, analytical, and scientific nowadays as compared to 100 years ago. Not everybody is this way, but as a collective group I think our ways of thinking and viewing the world have shifted dramatically in the past 50 years or something.
Most people view that as a positive thing. And there are positives to it. We have made a lot of great progress in solving major problems. Our lives are way more comfortable and there are way more opportunities and whatnot for people across the board.
The one thing it has cost us, I think, is the sense of awe and the reverance for bigger things, for our Creator, namely. It seems to me that the more we’re able to explain creation, the less we care about the Creator. This is the biggest argument I get on Twitter when I say stuff like “how can anybody deny that God exists?”. Lots of people will answer something about science. As if the fact that we have a method of explaining some things somehow negates the need for those things to have been created at some point. Science will never be able to tell you how something comes from nothing. So the whole argument is weird and incoherent, and yet pretty popular. Personally, I think people just don’t want to believe that they have a Creator that they’ll someday have to be accountable in front of, so they’ll do whatever mental gymnastics they need to in order to get Him out of their way.
I also think this is part of the reason that people in cities are more liberal and less religious than people out in the country. In a city, you’re only surrounded by man-made things. It’s all very understandable, since the type of brain that you possess created all of the things you’re seeing.
But when you’re out in the woods or on a lake or whatever it may be, it’s harder to explain. You are face to face with God’s creation. It’s tougher to explain, harder to grasp. So your mind starts thinking on that plane.
Or something like that, I don’t know. Let’s not get hung up on my reasoning here.
The point is that the way baseball currently awards a win, in our minds, is really dumb. Why should you get a win for four scoreless innings when it’s the 2nd through 5th inning rather than 1st through 4th. Makes no sense. But when the game began, it wasn’t even a thought that some pitcher might throw the 2nd through 5th inning, unless a pitcher got hurt. And back then, when a pitcher left the game due to injury, it was probably because they literally died on the mound.
It’s not as though the wins rule was setup because they thought it much more important to throw the first five innings. It’s just that 99% of the time, the guy who started the game stayed in there for most of the game, if not the whole thing.
I remember when the opener thing started. It was not long ago. I actually remember being in a YMCA is downtown Pittsburgh on a treadmill, training for the marathon I ran in 2018. It was the Rays. I don’t remember exactly who it was, I feel like Andrew Kittredge and Yonny Chirinos were involved. But the Rays came up with this idea to have a reliever face the lineup the first time, and then they’d bring on their length guy to face it the second and third time. This was revolutionary at the time. And 2018 is not that long ago. A lot of teams do this sort of thing now, although it does seem like it’s getting a bit less common now. It seems likes most teams tried it and kind of decided that it doesn’t work as well as they thought. Or maybe they didn’t like immediately shortening their bullpen for that day. I don’t know. I don’t even know if I’m right that this is on the downslope.
Back to the point. It’s really easy to earn a win when you’re the bulk pitcher. When the starter doesn’t go five innings and their team gets and holds a lead for the full game, it’s up to the official scorer to decide who gets the win (I think that’s still true, anyway). And this will almost always just go to the guy who threw the most innings. As a bulk guy for the Dodgers, who win a lot of games, you’re going to rack up wins at a very high rate. So much less is required of Casparius to get a win when he’s the bulk guy rather than the starter.
This could all be completely moot if they just put him in as a traditional starter now that he’s built up to 75+ pitches, but either way - I think he’s a strong add in fantasy leagues right now. The bulk role doesn’t matter - it might even make him more valuable.
I could have made that point in like three sentences, but instead I did it in 900 words. I love having my own platform to write on.
Goodbye for now!
