In 2023-2025, #Rockies pitching combined for 3.1 rWAR in 4247.1 IP, easily the worst in MLB in that span (29th was the Nationals at 15.9 rWAR). Just a month into the 2026 season, the Rockies pitching staff already has 5.7 rWAR — the best in Major League Baseball — in just 256.1 IP.

#Tigers prospect Jesus Pinto entered today with just 2 XBH on the year (1 2B, 1 3B) despite boasting elite EVs for a 19 year old (91.2 avg, 109.8 max), as he wasn't lifting the ball. Today he lifted 3, and all 3 went for extra bases, including his 1st HR of 2026! 2B 1: 108.9 2B 2: 104.9 HR: 96.7

Mid-Week Dynasty Baseball Pickups - 4/23/26

#Cubs prospect Cole Mathis has 7 home runs through 14 games at Single-A. It's the most among all players at the level, and in the Carolina League nobody else has more than 4. Unfortunately he won't be able to hold on to those leads for long, as he's just been promoted to High-A South Bend.

Riley Cornelio for Triple-A Rochester today: 5.0 IP | 3 H | 1 R/ER | 1 BB | 9 K The 25 year old #Nationals prospect currently has a 2.45 ERA & 27 Ks through 4 starts (18.1 IP) at AAA, with the help of a revamped fastball along with a plus slider per Prospects Live. Clips of all 9 Ks from today:

Top 5 players by Win Probability Added to the #Yankees so far this year: 1. Jordan Romano - +1.70 WPA 2. José Caballero - +1.52 WPA 3. Mark Leiter Jr. - +0.76 WPA 4. Aaron Judge - +0.71 WPA 5. Tim Hill - +0.69 WPA

Jackson Merrill has a .095 batting average against pitches 93 MPH or harder this season in MLB

Artemis II may be back on Earth, but Adames II is still going strong.

Mid-Week Dynasty Baseball Pickups - 4/9/26

Through 10 games, the #BlueJays bullpen has allowed a .371 BABIP. The next highest team is the Yankees with a .329 BABIP, and the league average is .285. Performance-wise it’s been one of the worst bullpens in baseball, but based on BABIP alone it’s expected to positively regress significantly.

ICYMI, this season I’ll be writing weekly articles on dynasty baseball pickup recommendations for Prospects Live! My first article came out today, here it is:

Logan Allen is starting for Columbus vs Indianapolis today at 6:15 PM ET. Logan Allen is starting for Oklahoma City at Las Vegas today at 9:05 PM ET. There may be two Logan Allens, but I choose to believe it’s just one guy that accidentally double-booked and has to find a way to make both starts.

Michael Soroka of the #DBacks just threw the first immaculate inning of the year! Only one of the 9 strikes was fouled off; he got 4 whiffs and 4 called strikes. So far today he’s pitched 5 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and a walk, with 10 strikeouts.

Now that the Yankees' lineup is out, here's how their lineup is projected to perform against Logan Webb.

Currently calculating expected stats for Spring Training (along with a few others) and found this interesting: Max Muncy (LAD): .338/.428/.675 xSlash, 20.5% K%, 13.6% BB%, 51.7% HardHit%, 112.7 mph max EV Max Muncy (ATH): .331/.423/.661 xSlash, 22.4% K%, 13.8% BB%, 54.1% HardHit%, 112.0 mph max EV

Interestingly, Yordan Alvarez’s extension with the Astros was also 6 yrs & $115M. Yordan’s deal started in his 1st year of arb as well, but Yordan wasn’t Super 2, so it bought out 3 yrs of FA vs 2 for PCA. Two players that are complete opposite profiles, but the overall WAR value is similar.

Milwaukee #Brewers Preview - 2026 Opening Day Countdown

With the amount of off days the #Yankees have to start the year, they can get away with a 4-man rotation for the first couple weeks. Assuming they don’t want anybody pitching on short rest, they don’t have to introduce a 5th starter until the 11th at Tampa Bay. Here’s how it would shake out:
