Six Numbers We Find Interesting

Chad and Pete dive into early draft results.

 

Keep or Kut – Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) couldn’t get together to record this week, but each picked three numbers that stood out to them in the early days of the season and expounded on why that number is interesting and what it means for you. We discuss underperforming early picks, injured players still hitting the ball hard, and more.
