These guys always make #FPAZ better by their presence. Thank you for the knowledge and the love! @blandalytics.pitcherlist.com @josh-sperry.pitcherlist.com @pitcherlist.com @nschwartz.bsky.social Until next time we meet. ❤️🙏🏻

One of my favorite graphics & I had to make sure article wasn’t half bad either. Stop pitching to Aaron Judge!! I also want to mention @benclemens.bsky.social’s piece on the same topic from today too (blogs.fangraphs.com/when-should-...). Covers the IBBs much better than I do.

The Athletic app is testing my loyalty to the pod, full day-long recording would be impressive @grantbrisbee.bsky.social @sammillerbb.bsky.social @bymccullough.bsky.social

Happy Opening Day! I'm going to try and continue posting here in-season, but I still end up on the other app more often than not. Here's a thread on what I've been working on the last few weeks before the season starts🧵

A 🧵of what’s coming in 2025 at Pitcher List 1. PL Fantasy Baseball Pro Dashboard - Beta launches April '25. - 1.0 release 2026 - Sync all your leagues (ESPN, Yahoo, Fantrax, NFBC, CBS) - Widgets & Projections curated for your team - All PLV Apps - One home for all your teams

This is awesome, thank you Kyle for everything behind Process+ as I was simply the man to put pen to paper (or hand to keyboard, I’m not sure). Humbled to be recognized like this in the industry and honestly I can’t believe it

MLB teams' increasing reliance on their bullpens is a manifestation of optimized pitching strategy. Starters' performance wanes as their pitch counts rise and batters get multiple looks at them. Relievers keep getting nastier every year. It's just smart baseball. But what if it's not?

Spencer Schwellenbach is one of the most popular breakout picks for 2025. The #Braves SP posted a 3.35 ERA in 124 IP last year, and most projections systems like him in 2025. He is the only pitcher (min 100 IP) to have 6 pitches with a 98 Stuff+ or more; there's no weak link.

Are you a #STLCards fan preparing to watch Nolan Arenado take the field with the birds on the bat across his chest until at least July 31st? Are you also a Cardinal fan who would like to see him play well enough to get traded? 🧵on how Nolan makes the most of 2025:

my favorite super niche piece of media on my phone, relevant today

I thought everyone told me there was no parity in baseball

First article of the year! I wrote about Grayson Rodriguez’s 2024 and how an improvement in 2025 is highly achievable. pitcherlist.com/the-orioles-...

Finally, we found that in terms of predictive ability, Stuff+ is back among the best in the class. Find it @fangraphs.com www.fangraphs.com/leaders/majo...

just got a Billy Cook reference on a non-rates and barrels podcast, someone help

Starters with 90th percentile gap in velocity and iVB between their fastball and changeup/split in 2024: Grayson Rodriguez Spencer Schwellenbach Erik Miller More to come on Grayson

how do we feel about this FYPD haul? (14t OBP) 1.8 Cam Smith 2.8 Griffin Burkholder 3.11 Tyson Lewis 4.8 Mike Sirota 5.8 Jonathan Santucci 6.8 Blake Burke 7.8 Elis Cuevas

It is worth listening to in its entirety. Lack of caring both inside and outside of the org makes me very wary of the direction of this team. Wasn't an Edmonds guy but there's a lot of interesting nuggets in here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

stranger just asked me to help them parallel park, talk about an ego boost

Another #STLCards hitter who is fascinating for 2025 is Alec Burleson. After a solid .269/.319/.420 & 21 HR season, there are mixed expectations on how much of an impact he'll have. Projections systems disagree on his outlook this season, but I like his niche archetype in '25 🧵

I do love savant showing me Burleigh Grimes in the search like I was looking for arm angle of a pitcher from the 1930s

The most important work of the offseason was done by @carsonpicard.bsky.social: pitcherlist.com/every-broadc...

Even though the D-backs acquired Josh Naylor, is Pavin Smith one of the most underrated 1B in the player pool? 130 Process+ and 9 HR in 150ish PA last year, where he made big strides in discipline and contact profile last year. 405 ADP right now with 500ish PA projected by BP

PITCHCON STARTS IN 90 MINUTES

I’m so curious how the “pocket aces” strategy came and went in a flash, early pitchers are terrifying

Found a nugget of info on Willson Contreras: he's seen his average launch angle go from 9 to 14, EV FB decrease by 2 mph, and pull rate go 41%->36% from '22 in CHC to '24 with #STLCards. Move to 1B will help longevity, but even with strong contact, I'm worried the cliff is near

Nolan Gorman had the biggest drop in wRC+ of any 24 or younger hitter last year (min. 400 PA), going from 118 to 87 wRC+. The former top prospect lost his way in a Cardinals offense that needed him last year, but he has the opportunity to build back this year. Here's how he succeeds in 2025 🧵

Starting to be all-in on Jackson Merrill this season. He's one of the biggest improvers between 1st half & 2nd half in 2024 and is on an elite list of 2nd half improvers. Qualified hitters who swung more, chased less, and improved their barrel rate between halves of the szn

Debuting at 20% is going to make it an uphill road for Felix to make the HOF. Hopefully a thinning crop of pitchers will give him a chance
