INSIGHT

Murakami's Hot Start Has Big Power And Contact Risk

  • Minitaka Murakami's historic three-game homer stretch is real but fragile.
  • He homered in each of his first three regular-season games but struck out 4 times in 13 plate appearances, indicating power offset by contact risk.
INSIGHT

Murakami Faced Mostly Fastballs Early Which Inflates Start

  • Murakami saw a huge percentage of fastballs the first three games, which partly explains the hot start.
  • Chris Towers noted 77% of his pitches were fastballs and expects pitchers to adjust, so current success may regress.
ADVICE

Roster These Rookies Now For Upside

  • Roster DeLauter and Murakami in most formats as upside pickups.
  • Both showed immediate power; DeLauter projects lower strikeouts and is safer, while Murakami offers huge power but higher strikeout risk.
