Sam Antonacci, Otto Lopez and more fantasy baseball hitters riding good (and bad) luck

What I wrote last week should inform each of these columns, whether pitching or hitting (the focus is hitting this week).One big difference is that hitters control about two-thirds of hitter-versus-pitcher outcomes and, generally, this goes for offense versus defense in all sports. It’s a universal law. Now, of course, elite pitchers beat the base rate and control outcomes to a much higher degree — that’s why they’re great. The same goes for the handful of great defenses in, say, football.Advertisement
