The only takeaway from Spring Training stats: Are those stats helping a guy win an every day job? Let me say it again for emphasis, spring stats mean nothing. (I DON’T.) I like to do this post every year because every year I get the same comments about how well a player is doing in the spring and if I’m going to change my fantasy baseball rankings because of it. If someone can read everything but capped words, I apologize in advance if you draft Keston Hiura. Now we get to grade everyone’s reading comprehension because these are LAST YEAR’S spring training stats. Means’while, Brandon Woodruff has a 10.80 ERA. Patrick Corbin – A 0.00 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP and 10 K/9. MacKenzie Gore – Has a 0.92 WHIP and someone get me a handkerchief that I can put to my forehead so I can faint. Nick Pivetta – Leads the majors in strikeouts with 22 and I’d buy that for a dollar or three!Įduardo Rodriguez – Not that far behind Pivetta and finally Red Sox pitchers are doing well, just not on the Red Sox! Kyle Higashioka – Has seven homers, one in front of Diego Castillo, and up is down and cats and dogs are harmonizing together. 393 average?! Like a teenager’s face, the break out is here! 444? That’s Jose not Josh? Wow, don’t I feel red-faced! Well, Josh darn it, there’s a new Rojas in town! I wrote an Edward Olivares fantasy sleeper, so you know this love be real. Since these spring training numbers mean so much, I decided to look at some players stats so far:Įdward Olivares – When I mouth the words “olive juice” I’m not saying “Olive juice” or “I love you.” I’m saying Olivares, that’s how much I love him.

Forget the pitch clock, just play the World Series at Spring Training. That’s the true pioneer of a sped-up game. Our former commissioner, Bud, once doffed his toupee and tried to have the World Series played in March. They are at the height of their game in the beginning of March. No one’s trying new pitches or getting a feel for the ball. Sure, it’s always good to look at spring training numbers to give you an idea what you can expect from guys during the season - can I draft Jarred Kelenic yet?! Dude is mashing like the ball’s a potato! Players in spring training are facing the top pitchers who are all displaying their best stuff. Just the other day I read about how a petunia’s branches gained 15 pounds and was in the best shape of its life. They also share equally effusive PR people. Baseball, like a flower, blooms in the spring.
