ADVICE

Buy Shane Baz After Early Rough Start

  • Buy Shane Baz after one poor start because his fastball and two-pitch mix still show upside.
  • Joe Pisapia notes Baz shifted away from the changeup, produced high whiff on his curve, and should regain K-rate once he locates more strikes.
ADVICE

Buy Bo Bichette Despite Early Strikeouts

  • Buy Bo Bichette despite an early strikeout spike because his career .293 average and .800+ OPS signal regression to mean.
  • Chris Welsh points to a 13-pitch Opening Day at-bat and mental adjustment to a new position as temporary issues.
INSIGHT

Underlying Metrics Warrant Selling Pete Crow-Armstrong

  • Sell Pete Crow-Armstrong now if you distrust underlying metrics because his surface stats mask persistent contact and plate-discipline issues.
  • Joe Pisapia cites bottom-quartile whiff and chase rates, no barrels, and continued lefty struggles as red flags.
