FBB 010 - Spring Training Standouts with Thomas Nestico

Fantasy Baseball Beat

Thomas Nestico joins the show to discuss Spring Training Standouts.

First, Thomas answers the questions of:

• Does Spring Training matter?
• What do you look for during Spring Training?
• Which players have caught your eye thus far?
  • Tyler Soderstrom
  • Jerar Encarnación

Then, we break down four pitchers who are rising up draft boards because of their early-spring performances:

• Christopher Sanchez
• Hunter Greene
• Jack Leiter
• Casey Mize

Which player performances are worrisome?

• Shota Imanaga
• Tanner Bibee
• Jason Adam

Thomas then explains two important metrics that he uses in his analysis and players who are affected by them:

• Induced Vertical Break
  • Nick Pivetta
  • Justin Verlander
  • Bryan Woo
  • Casey Mize
• Extension
  • Logan Gilbert
  • Alexis Díaz
  • Joey Cantillo
  • Luis Castillo
  • Spencer Strider

Looking back, Thomas pegged these players as potential breakouts in February. After having seen them play this spring, does he still view them the same way?

• Jonathan Aranda
• Clay Holmes
• David Festa

Finally, it's our Mental Health Minute.
