any fantasy players here? kyle mazardo looks like a potential good pickup on the waiver wire (~9% owned) he’s currently one of the most unlucky hitters (.100 babip and .315 xwoba) while most of his underlying stats remain similar or better than last year - average exit velo: 92.3 mph vs 90.3 mph last year - hard hit rate: 45% vs 43.8% last year - barrel rate: 10% vs 11.8% last year currently, he’s likely running into issues because: - launch angle: 13.8 degrees vs 21.2 degrees last year (hitting balls into the ground) - chase rate + first pitch swing: 30.7% and 35.9% vs 27.4% and 28.1% last year (this + a 45.2% chase contact rate are fueling his 33% k-rate) if he can fix his plate aggression and launch angle to more of his career norms, he’ll likely run into a hot streak as his number see some reversion to the mean if your league runs a deeper bench, he might be worth a stash to ride that streak
