Trey Yesavage, SP, TOR Yesavage was unhittable against the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing just 2 hits and 0 BB's in 6 shutout innings while striking out 8. This lowers his ERA to a microscopic 1.07 through 5 starts this season,...

Michael Harris II, OF, Atlanta Braves Harris went 2-5 with R, HR, 2 RBI, K on three hard hit balls. Harris went 20-20 last year, so he's clearly not a true breakout, but we have never seen underlying offensive numbers...

Angel Martinez (2B/OF-CLE) went 2-5 with an RBI and run scored as he hit leadoff in Detroit on Monday. The 24 year-old switch-hitter has been a pleasant surprise in the early going of the 2026 campaign as he's now batting...

Stephen Kwan, OF, CLE Kwan was bumped to the #6 spot in the lineup for the second game in a row against the Reds on Sunday, and he finished 0-2 with 2 BB's and a run scored in the contest....

Jakob Marsee- OF- MIA- Hot- Marsee went 3-for-4 with a walk and 2 runs yesterday. This was his second consecutive 3-hit game. Marsee has increased his AVG from .176 to .204 in two games. There is some serios regression happening...

Spencer Arrighetti (SP-HOU) carried a no-hitter into the 8th against the Rangers on Friday before losing it. The 26 year-old righty ultimately allowed no runs on 1 hit and 4 walks while striking out 5 over 7.1 IP. It's been...

Luke Raley (OF - SEA) - Raley was 2-5 with his 10th HR of the year in the 8-3 win over Houston on Thursday, and he's now hitting 268/333/589 for the season and on pace for nearly a 40/100 season...

Kyle Bradish, SP, BAL Bradish was superb against the Yankees on Wednesday allowing just 1 hit in 6 shutout innings, while striking out 7 and walking 3. That makes two straight strong starts for Bradish who struck out 10 in...

A.J. Ewing, OF, New York Mets Ewing had an eventful big league debut, going 1-2 with 2 R, 3B, 2 RBI, 3 BB on two hard hit balls. Ewing was a fourth round pick in the 2023 Draft and is...

These hitters aren't superstars but they can help you win your league with steady stats and sneaky value.

Zack Gelof (2/3/O - ATH) - A 7th-inning single extended Gelof's hitting streak to 9 games, and he's now hitting 274/328/484 through 69 PAs. Gelof faded quickly in 2024-25 after a hot start to his MLB career back in the...

Jacob Misiorowski, SP, MIL To say that Misiorowski was amped up to be pitching against the Bronx Bombers on Friday night would be a massive understatement. The youngster threw the seven fastest pitches ever recorded by Statcast (since 2008) for...

Zac Gallen-Diamondbacks-SP Zac Gallen went 6.0 IP and gave up 4 ER on 6 H, 2 BB, and 5 K's against the Pirates. Gallen has struggled to start 2026, posting a 4.70 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 38.1 IP. This...

Andy Pages, OF, LAD Pages had a career game against the Astros on Wednesday, crushing 3 HR's and driving in 6 in the blowout victory. Pages started the season on a power surge, homering 5 times in his first 16...

Bryce Harper, 1B (PHI) Harper is heating up. After going 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs on Tuesday, the Phillies superstar has raised his slash line to .286/.377/.571. He has six hits and three home runs in his past...

Jackson Chourio, OF, Brewers Jackson Chourio was finally activated from the injured list to make his 2026 debut after suffering a fractured hand in the WBC. He hit second in the lineup for the Brewers and went 4-for-4 with two...

Agustin Ramirez (C? - MIA) - A report surfaced after Sunday's game (another 0-4 for Ramirez with another SB allowed) that the Marlins are sending the 24 year old down to AAA and bringing up catching prospect Joe Mack. Ramirez...

Cody Bellinger- OF- NYY- Hot- Regression is helping Bellinger. He went 4-for-4 with 2 homers, 3 runs and 4 RBI yesterday. He entered the game with a .250 AVG and .402 SLG and an xBA of .278 and xSLG of...

Julio Rodriguez, OF, Mariners Julio Rodriguez is finally getting in a groove, going 2-for-4 with two homers and four RBI in Friday's game against the Royals. This makes three homers in the past week, and he is now slashing .262/.333/.400...

Alec Burleson, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals Burleson went 3-5 with R, 3 RBI, K on two hard hit balls. Burleson is truly an unsung hero in the fantasy baseball space. His 13/11 K/BB ratio makes him super relevant in points...

Taj Bradley (SP-MIN) put together another quality outing in a no-decision against the Mariners on Wednesday, allowing 2 ER on 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 7 over 7 IP. The 25 year-old righty served up a lone...

Edouard Julien (2B-COL) went 3-4 with a HR, 2 RBI, and a walk out of the leadoff spot against the Reds on Tuesday. The 26 year-old seems to be settling in at his new home in Colorado as he's now...

Dylan Cease (SP - TOR) - I don't mean to suggest that Dylan Cease is "bad" by any stretch of the imagination. I merely think that he's pretty significantly overvalued due to the fantastic swing-and-miss stuff. Cease took the loss...

Kyle Harrison-Brewers-SP Kyle Harrison went 6 IP and gave up 0 ER on 1 H, 1 BB, and 12 K's against the Pirates. He was dominant in this one, locating his fastball at the top of the zone. Harrison has...

Cole Ragans- P- KC- Hot- Ragans finally looked like himself last night. He allowed 1 run on 5 hits, walked no one, and struck out 11 in 6 IP. Ragans threw 99 pitches, 70 of them strikes. He says that...

Konnor Griffin (SS-PIT) went 3-4 with a SB, 3 RBI, and his first MLB homer against the Brewers on Friday. The 20 year-old had started his MLB career slowly as he was batting just .182 with no homers, 8 RBI,...

Payton Tolle, SP, BOS Tolle was incredible against the Yankees on Thursday, striking out 11 across 6.0 IP, while allowing 1 ER on 3 hits and 1 BB. He picked up right where he left off in AAA, where he...

Michael Harris II (OF - ATL) - Harris homered twice against the Nationals on Wednesday, giving him 6 already in just 86 PAs this season. He's had a heck of a road trip, reaching base in all 6 games and...

Garrett Mitchell, OF, Milwaukee Brewers Mitchell went 2-4 with R, 3B, RBI, and K on two hard hit balls. Mitchell's offensive profile is immensely polarizing. A 60% hard hit rate and 48% LASS are truly eye-popping, and they're backed by...

Sal Stewart, 1B, Reds Sal Stewart continued his sensational rookie campaign on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base. He's now slashing a robust .289/.388/.639 with 17 runs, 8 home...

Bryan Woo- P- SEA- Hot- Woo picked up his first win of 2026 by allowing 2 runs on 4 hits and a walk while striking out 6 in 7 IP. His ERA and FIP are identical at 2.25. Woo had...

Here's some starting pitchers who have given up some of the softest contact in MLB so far in 2026. Welcome to the Soft Parade.

Oneil Cruz (OF-PIT) continued his hot start to the 2026 season as he went 1-4 with a BB and 2-run homer against the Rays on Friday. The 27 year-old is now hitting .313 with 6 dingers, 19 RBI, 16 runs...

Parker Messick, SP, Guardians Parker Messick almost made history on Thursday, as he was no-hitting the Orioles through eight dominant innings. Unfortunately, he allowed two hits to start the ninth frame that ended up scoring, so he ended up allowing...

These hitters are hitting the ball hard, so far. Munetaka Murakami CHW Extremely early returns on the first-year, not really a "rookie" MLB slugger say he does hit the ball hard: 21.2% Barrel Rate and 57.6 Hard Hit Rate through...
