Episode Details

Fantasy draft mistakes could cost you your league—should you trust breakout pitchers like Cristopher Sanchez, Max Fried, and Freddy Peralta at their current ADP? Dominic Martino cautions against overvaluing these potential aces, spotlighting Sanchez’s late-career surge, Fried’s underwhelming WHIP, and Peralta’s risky transition to the Mets. Are these trends sustainable, or will regression hit your roster hard?

Key discussions include comparative analysis of top starters, why Tyler Glasnow and Dylan Cease carry buyer beware tags, and how new team assignments might impact Ranger Suarez. Closer controversy heats up, as Carlos Estevez, Jeff Hoffman, and Ryan Helsley face job insecurity and declining numbers. Get actionable advice, strategic name drops, and a rapid-fire “name game” on pitchers to target instead. Locked On Fantasy Baseball delivers insights that could reshape your 2026 fantasy baseball strategy—is your rotation ready for the challenge?
