Gorman’s hard hit percentage and barrel rate both clock in right around the leagues top ten percent of hitters, and his exit velocity ranks in the top quartile. His underlying numbers back up that performance too. He has seven round-trippers and three steals while playing at a premium position for fantasy. Gorman’s surface stats look pretty good with a. This one is a little bit tougher to swallow. If Rendon is still available, make the switch while you can. His walk rate places in the league’s top third, but he is not fleet of foot and has been unsuccessful on all three of his attempts to steal thus far.Īnderson was definitely a nice and helpful April surprise, but the fun appears to be over. Both his whiff and strikeout rates sit in that same range as well. His average exit velocity is barely above the bottom tenth of the league and his hard hit percentage is only slightly better, slotting into the leagues’ bottom fifth.
The power and run production has disappeared though, and overall he has now struck out 39 times over 133 plate appearances.Īnderson’s underlying numbers do not inspire much confidence either. 296) and he has drawn four walks while striking out just five times over that span. 333 BABIP, (which sits well above the MLB average of. Through five May games, Anderson is slashing just. 255/.330/.459 through the end of April with five homers, 16 runs scored, 20 driven in and five balls hit into the stands. Anderson had a nice month to start the season, batting. I usually like the keep the recommended adds under 50% rostered, but with the fallers I think it is best to get ahead of the curve in the other direction. So let’s see if we can keep the hits coming with this week’s collection of Risers and Fallers. Brandon Pfaadt was the only recommended riser who didn’t shine immediately, but the Rangers are a terrifying offense to face these days, especially in an MLB debut. Tanner Bibee struck out five over five-plus innings in a no decision allowing two runs on just four hits and no walks at Yankee stadium. 346 average, and a whopping five stolen bases. Esteury Ruiz kept things rolling with five runs and five RBI, a. Anthony Rendon made the leap from faller to riser and provided four runs, six RBI, and a dinger with a. Lucas Spence absolutely nailed his recommendations last week. “Hopefully this gives him a nice little reset and then he gets back to pitching like Eric Lauer.Welcome to Deep League Risers and Fallers. I can say, ‘Yeah here’s what I think it is,’ but you've got to find that out. You got to kind of figure it out yourself.
“I mean, I look around the league and there are a lot of guys that are in that search phase. “It’s a normal evolution of a pitcher that has spent five, six years in the big leagues and he’s in a little bit of a bad rut,” Hook said. It's just like, ‘Let's relax, get ready for the game and pitch.’”Īs pitching coach Chris Hook sees it, this short reset could end up being a positive step in Lauer’s career. I've been doing a lot less, which I think overall is going to help just because it's not so much strain before the game, after the game, during the game. “So it's been a lot more relaxing for me, actually. “I have more time to just kind of chill and do nothing, pretty much because you want to be ready every day if possible in relief,” Lauer said. Progress has been made in that area overall, but the trip to the bullpen will allow him to try to reset without hyperfocusing on what may be hindering him. Going back even to spring training, Lauer has spent time tinkering to get his mechanics in the right place.
Give me a chance to go out with shorter stints and be able to kind of clear my mind and just go out there and pitch and try to get back to kind of the form that I've been in before.” So from my understanding, it's more just a change of perspective. It's been a little sporadic for my liking and their liking. “Obviously, the results haven't been great so far. “From what I was told, it was really that it was more just a change of perspective kind of thing,” Lauer said. The Brewers hope that some time in the bullpen, where he can come into the game and face only a few hitters rather than worry about pitching deep, will help Lauer attack hitters with more aggression. That's the version of Eric that I think we need to see and we want to see. He's performed at a really high level for good stretches, long stretches over the last two years. “Eric has been a very good starting pitcher in this league. “I think Eric can be better,” Counsell said. After a 12-month stretch beginning in May 2021 where Lauer was excellent, he now has a 4.49 ERA with 27 home runs given up over his last 26 starts.
