29 Hitters

29 sell highs or buy highs

 

Keep or Kut – Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) celebrate 150 episodes of Keep or Kut by breaking down 21 starting pitchers in simple terms: buy high or sell high? All 21 pitchers have a better P/IP than they did last year, or debuted this year.

2:40 – Chad chooses teammates H2H Heroes: Matt Olson and Michael Harris II; while Pete can’t decide between Corbin Carroll and Julio Rodriguez.

7:07 – We go through 29 hitters (yes, Chad said 30, but it was 29) who made big gains this year

9:42 – We start with the stud rookies: Jackson Merrill, Jackson Chourio, and James Wood; and while the sample size is smaller, we need to talk Luisangel Acuña.

16:39 – We can’t criticize Elly de la Cruz, even with the K’s, but we aren’t excited about Adrian del Castillo and things aren’t as clear with Connor Norby.

25:34Heliot Ramos and Lawrence Butler are lighting it up in the Bay Area.

31:05 – A couple of young NL East infielders: Xavier Edwards, Mark Vientos

37:31 – OF is a challenge, but does that mean you should buy high on Brenton Doyle or Tyler O’Neill?

42:44 – Three former prospects in different phases of their careers: Carlos Correa’s bat is legit but how concerned are you about health? Are you buying Jordan Westburg? Is this just the post- post- post- post-hype breakout from Jurickson Profar?

51:19 – Some vets putting up big seasons: Tommy Edman and Joc Pederson

54:41 – It’s a run on SS as we talk Ezequiel Tovar, Tyler Fitzgerald, and Willy Adames

58:41 – Wrapping it up with Teoscar Hernandez, Salvador Perez, Byron Buxton, Steven Kwan, Alec Bohm, Matt Chapman, and Matt Wallner

1:10:59 – Recapping all the names we covered – and realizing that we skipped Spencer Horwitz
