The fantasy baseball season is just barely underway, but you may already be feeling a little panicked if your players are off to wobbly starts. Most notably, many pitchers drafted to be aces have been volatile to start the season. Gerrit Cole, Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta, Zack Wheeler and quite a few more are off to tough starts.
As for bats, there have also been more than a few concerns. Whit Merrifield is batting .136 and has only scored one run. Kyle Tucker, a first-round pick, is batting .127.
For pitchers, it’s important to exercise some patience. The abbreviated spring training has no doubt had major effects; pitchers are creatures of habit and need to have their full conditioning. I expect many will stabilize over the coming weeks. Keep an eye on velocity and spin rates as the weeks go along.
