Though spring training stats seemingly have little meaning, sometimes there are performances that are too promising to ignore for fantasy baseball.
Though spring training statistics seemingly have about as much meaning as getting stock tips from a monkey, sometimes there are performances that are too promising to ignore.
Jordan Hicks is mostly known as the oft-injured former Cardinals reliever who had a fastball that averages 100 mph. Though he has made just eight career starts, the flame-thrower signed with the Giants and has been converted into a starter. Should you be concerned about Hicks, who is available in more than 85 percent of ESPN leagues, not reaching triple-digits with every pitch? Not at all. He has been relying more on his sinker and reportedly spent the spring working with Webb, who finished second in Cy Young voting in 2023. Fantasy owners can only hope the decreased velocity will help with his control and bring his walk rate down.
Roto Rage believes if Flaherty can sustain his velocity and limit walks, something he did in 2019 , he could be a great find for the 2024 season.
