What's going on, everybody?

Welcome into Fantasy Pros.

This is the Fantasy Baseball podcast.

I'm your host, Joel Rico, joined today by a very special guest.

He is my dear friend, Justin Mason.

And today, we're going to have a fun show.

We're going to take it easy a little bit and talk about some facts and flukes through the first

month or so of the fantasy baseball season. Are we buying certain trends that we have seen to this point?

You guys are going to find out over the next hour or so. Justin, thank you so much for hopping on

today, buddy. How you doing? I'm doing well, man. It's always great to have a chat with you, talk to you, my friend. So looking forward to figuring out if these are facts or flutes. Yeah, we are going to have some fun, and we are going to start it off with a guy who has taken the baseball world by storm through the first month or so of the season. And that's Munataka Murakami of the Chicago White Sox.

What I have down on the sheet here is Murataka Murakami will hit 50 home runs in

26.

It might sound insane, but he's got 14 through the first 37 games of the year.

He's a 22% barrel rate, a 64% hard hit rate.

And he's hitting the ball in the air quite a bit

at 48 percent. So it seems like it's plausible at least, Justin, but do you think there's a

chance that Murakami comes back down to earth over the next couple weeks? Do you expect him to

maintain this power production? Where are you at on him through his first 37 games in the

bigs? I mean, you got all the power. Like all the power metrics are bright red over on stat cast. You know, I mean, he's got a 99th percentile

average exosity, 99th percent of all-bary percentage, 100 percentile hard hit percentage.
