INSIGHT

Why Hunter Brown Can Sustain Success

  • Hunter Brown became dominant by adding a two-seam fastball and relying on fastball-heavy approach with a breaking-ball fallback.
  • Eno expects innings and the ability to reintroduce breaking balls if hitters adjust to his fastball.
ADVICE

Draft Logan Webb For Cheap Reliable Innings

  • Target Logan Webb in formats without heavy early investment in pitching because he provides elite innings at a discount.
  • Webb posted three straight 200+ inning seasons with improving K% after adding a sweeper and will be rosterable cheaply.
INSIGHT

Cease Needs A Third Pitch To Stabilize

  • Dylan Cease's ceiling depends on adding a third usable pitch to reduce reliance on his fastball-slider pairing.
  • The Blue Jays' organizational emphasis on splitters/changeups makes them a plausible fit to expand his arsenal.
