Were this year's top rookies supposed to be quite this good?

Were this year struggling rookies?

Weren't they supposed to be better than this?

I've got Matt Morris of Scout the Stat Line on the line to answer just those questions here on the RodeWire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Hello and welcome, everybody, to the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast, brought to you by Chalk Board.

Eric Holterman here, and I am joined today for the second time this season by Matt Morris of Scout the Stat Line. Matt, we talked back on, I believe it was exactly opening day, trying to figure out

rookies.

Yeah, it didn't go.

Fantasy Baseball this season, Ann, it's good to talk to you again.

Yeah, thank you, Eric.

Yeah, and it didn't go the way we expected to really kick off the season, right?

We had a bunch of these names and the expectations were high to Ming.

Not 100%. That's true. So it's good to check back in at the end of the year here.

Yeah. And I'm really excited for what we've had so far. I think the names we're going to talk about today are exciting guys.

But just the emergence of potentially a number one or a number two at first base in Dynasty

with Nick Kurt's performance.

You have fun real life baseball performance from guys like Isaac Collins, who honestly is doing

great things for me in a lot of fantasy leagues as well right now as a waiver wire pickup.

You know, across the board, you have some of the disappointments. Jason, the bingas that we're going to get to match Shaw's mechanical adjustments. But overall, this is what, you know, prospectors dream of a season like this where you have a lot to evaluate. Yeah, for sure. I don't even remember if we talked about Isaac Collins back on that show.

We'll get to him soon. Don't tend to spend too much time talking about the 28-year-old rookies before the season.

But we will get to him and all the other overperforming rookies in a minute.

But first, I want to start with some prospects who could still get the call this year.
