EP 139: Shift Rates & Pulled Barrels w/ Derek VanRiper & Eno Sarris
I got the opportunity to talk to two amazing analysts who inspired and motivated me to start podcasting. Derek VanRiper ( @DerekVanRiper) and Eno Sarris ( @enosarris). We chatted about:
Judging last years teams, approaches, roster construction and anticipation of effect of humidors
making sure you know why a team did well, and not just because i "drafted good catchers"- was it REALLY the reason?
MLB new rules for 2023- shift, pitch clock, bigger bases
Shohei Ohtani
Pulled vs Oppo Barrels- who should we be keeping our eye on/concerned with given bated ball data, spray angles
Eno's Pitching+ model- with a big announcement

EP 137: DRAFT & HOLD TEAM REVIEWS
On this pod I work solo and review my draft and hold teams during the 2022 season. I go over:
80th% and 90% for NFBC Draft Champions and NFBC 50 leagues
Correlations between At-Bats and innings pitched and the 10 roto categories as well as the correlations between hitting points and pitching points in the overall standings with roto categories.
cruise through some teams and breakdown process, draft results and standings results
this process really helped me look back and compare the MLB run environment to my teams and the teams overall in all formats. My information on my teams specifically might not help you but i think the process of reviewing starting stats, bench stats, draft results, strengths and weaknesses can help moving forward.
