WEEKEND ROUNDUP | Week 1 Fantasy Baseball 2023

Weekend Recap and Fantasy Baseball Takeaways

In this video, the speaker provides insights on some of his fantasy baseball takeaways from the opening weekend. He talks about three players that he thinks are worth considering for your fantasy team.

Nolan Gorman of the Cardinals

  • Nolan Gorman is a 22-year-old player who went 4 for 9 with two home runs on Sunday.
  • He had six runs batted in, four walks, and only two strikeouts over the weekend.
  • The Cardinals believe in him and he is going to be playing all three games against right-handed pitchers.
  • Nolan Gorman projects for about 25 home runs this season.

Logan Oh hoppy of the Angels

  • Logan Oh hoppy is a catcher who has been given an opportunity to start due to Max Stassi's injury.
  • He went 4 for 10 with six runs batted in over the weekend.
  • If he continues to perform well, he could be a great addition to your fantasy team.

Adam Duvall of the Red Sox

  • Adam Duvall was the star of opening weekend after going 8-for-14 with two home runs and eight RBIs.
  • He strikes out at over 25%, but his RBIs and home runs make him a good match for your fantasy team.

Introduction to So Rare MLB

The speaker introduces So Rare MLB, a fantasy baseball game where players can draft their own team and enter into modified points lead based tournaments for each game week. Players can win prizes determined by how many points their roster scores.

Drafting Your Team

  • To play So Rare MLB, players need to draft three starters, a relief pitcher, two corner infielders, two middle infielders, and two outfielders.
  • Modified points lead based tournaments are held every game week. If your team performs well enough in the tournament, you'll earn rewards in the form of new So Rare MLB cards to add to your collection and strengthen your team for the next tournament.

Jesse Winker of the Brewers

The speaker discusses Jesse Winker of the Brewers as a potential fantasy asset.

Jesse Winker's Performance

  • Jesse Winker is 36% rostered and has started three or four games hitting in the two hole for the Brewers.
  • He is a good on-base guy who should benefit with a lot of runs in the duo.
  • His launch angle last season was seven degrees higher than previous seasons. If he gets back to his line driver approach and keeps taking walks, he could be a pretty good fantasy asset again.

Trevor Larnach of the Twins

The speaker discusses Trevor Larnach of the Twins as another potential fantasy asset.

Trevor Larnach's Performance

  • Trevor Larnach is only 6% rostered but has been playing in the fourth spot every single game to start this season.
  • He went 5 for 11 with a 102-6 OPS and drove in two runs against the Royals.
  • He had two hard-hit balls over 107 miles an hour yesterday and has an average exit velocity of 96 miles an hour. If he continues to hit well, he might be a nice pickup and stream for fantasy teams.

Mackenzie Gore of the Nationals

The speaker discusses Mackenzie Gore of the Nationals as a potential starting pitcher fantasy asset.

Mackenzie Gore's Performance

  • Mackenzie Gore is only 16% rostered but had a really good first start as a National despite having four walks.
  • He struck out six Braves over five and one-third innings, and the velocity on every single one of his secondary pitches was up.
  • If he's able to find some outs with his swinging stuff, he could be a nice pickup for the rest of the season or even a nice streamer.
