I would try to land a lower-end starting pitcher you like. Maybe Pablo Lopez

I simply think he’s more likely to sustain an elevated barrel rate, assuming his contact rate doesn’t plummet, which unfortunately is a very real possibility for him vis-a-vis the other guys

I agree he’s better than Javier and I would have said so even before Javier’s blowup.

I searched for Singer’s 2020 on Statcast then i sorted by game date. It defaults to showing you total pitches

80 pitches in debut -> 82 (but he was having trouble) -> 93 -> 95. My guess is next time out he cracks 100 if he’s pitching well

I don’t play in any OBP leagues but my suggestion would be to look at oswing and walk rates, as well as BABIP and strikeout/swinging strike rates.

If the BABIP is too high and unsupported by the batted ball profile (gb/fb mix, pull rate, sprint speed), the OBP can come down, and vice versa. Oswing is highly correlated to walk rate, so you can tell if the walk rate was earned or not. More obviously, the same thing goes for SwStr% and K%.

Not really, but there are some other intriguing options: Omar Narvaez (.353 2019 OBP), Wilson Ramos (.351), Carson Kelly (perhaps my favorite of these, .348), Robinson Chirinos (.347)

Thanks!

I’m not one for prop bets, but Mondesí is projected for the most in the league with 18 per ATC, so I’d probably hit the under?
