This time, he's looking at pitchers who started 18% of their games and faced at least 295 batters in 2025 as he attempts to look at the trends, figures, and benchmarks as he attempts to look for the next Spencer Strider. This episode took a look at starting pitchers' strikeout production, opponents on-base against figures, quality of contact, swing and contact tendencies, as well as pitching velocities and spin rates as the podcast tries to figure out which starting pitchers to keep on eye and which ones to avoid for 2026 fantasy baseball drafts.
