You're listening to Wins Above Fantasy, part of the Pictureless Podcast Network with Van Burnett and Steve Giswelly.

Welcome back, everybody. It is Wins Above Fantasy, episode 169.

Welcome me for joining us on the live stream.

If not, happy Thursday, March 6th.

We are officially in March, folks, and we are two weeks away from some kind of baseball.

And three weeks away from a full-on opening day.

So Steve could not be happier to be here talking about breakout hitters.

We spent so much time playing with the puzzle pieces on pitching analysis.

Sometimes you forget the good old-fashioned hitter breakouts.

And there's less variables to break down than pitching, but there's still plenty to look into.

And some of it's park factor, some of it's, you know, just unlocking new things.

I think even the bat speed metrics are now interesting that we've got like a full season of that.

So cannot wait to get into these.

It's been a minute, Steve, but it's good to be back.

I know we got drafts rocking and rolling.

We could spend an entire episode just talking about what the heck I'm doing over in TGFBI.

But that is not what this show is about.

We're here to talk breakout hitters, and I can't wait, man.

How's it going?

Good. I can't believe you didn. How's it going? Good.

I can't believe you didn't hit us with the This is March.

I always leave that for you, the Ron Schia.
