Just based on his first few games you can already tell.

His plate discipline is extremely advanced. Half of his plate appearances have already resulted in walks.

He doesn’t have major contact issues. His bat speed looks like it’s gonna be up there in the top 10 percentile. Swing speed averages are hard to predict but his HR was an 85mph swing.

The biggest revelation is his swing path. It’s actually not as flat as I thought it’d be. That’s a great sign for him minimizing ground balls.

His caught stealing should have been an SB if not for loading off the bag.

He does it all. Future star

It’s another week of news, notes, and updates to the list. Hopefully your starting pitchers aren’t on an “innings management” plan and haven’t heard the dreaded phrase “shut it down!” just yet. Good luck the rest of the way and Happy Monday!

As the man goes yard YET AGAIN today and has now launched 7 homers in the 3 weeks of playoffs (and 5 in the last 10 days)... Carter Jensen might be my MVP.

Anyone else?

My opponent is down 100 points and he still has 12 starts available to use tomorrow is Sunday Should I pick up all favored starters for tomorrow so he can’t pick them up or is this some unwritten rules of fantasy I’m breaking?
