PullHitter Fantasy Baseball
By Robert DiPietro
EP 361: First Round Picks, Concerns for Highly Rostered Players & 4-Week FAB Lookback
Dom and I talk about the disappointment from the first round picks of 2026, closer chaos, playing time concerns for highly rostered players in the Main Event and a look back at FAAB adds from the Main Event four weeks ago (5/10), using the Fangraphs 15 team player rater to sort out values

EP 360: All Things Fantasy Baseball w/ Ian Hubbard
I am joined by Ian Hubbard to cover a wide range of draft and in season play topics
CLQ - DC - risk vs redundancy / playing it "safe"- what is "safe?"
Faab -How new ROY draft pick rules have fundamentally changed FAAB. Spending more FAAB early due to impact, not caring about threading the needle, on mostly mid-level guys, rather than FAABapoolazas
Evaluating players based on in depth analysis rather than spreadsheet plugging and how both can get you to Otto Lopez
How much is too much of one player in draft season
Banking late season insights for DC season (Randy Vasquez)

Matt Olson, Parker Messick, Foster Griffin, Michael McGreevy

95 people have played in the CLQ all 3 years

Really solid across the board
Andrew Geller - Up to 2nd at 99.5 points

Still sitting on $773 in FAAB
Bob Catsioroumpas - 5th at 94.5
Ricky Zito - 6th at 90

EP 358: MLB Trends and Champions League Action w/ Josh Pettersen
Interesting trends in 2026
Closers or the complete lack of closers
80th% pace in ME is 65 - 67 in 2025, 72 in 2024
50th% pace in ME is 48 - 54 in 2025
Emergence of young stud pitchers
Schlittler, Misiorowski, McLean, Hancock, Messick, Burns Top 20 in K-BB %
Champions League Draft Strategy
Your approach to your drafts this year
Multipliers
Josh - more willing to draft same players across multiple leagues
Taking risk vs being safe
Josh - Took way more swings this year in OC & DC
Wheeler, Snell on OC/Wheeler, Cole, McGonigle
Champions League Qualifier
2,676 is the current line to gain - just under 63% of the points
Last year's line to gain was around the same point at this time of year and slowly rose through the season to 65%. Same as 2024.
65% of points would be 2,769. 2,800 is what I’m aiming for (just over 930 per contest)
Fun list of people in the top 14 thus far
John Pausma - 3,156 and his OC is his worst format so far
Jared Radbel - 3,066 and first in the DC

Dustin Anderson - 2,816
Aaron Jones - 2,800 (at final table currently)
Todd Hoppe - 2,774

Ian Hubbard - 2,728 with 1,776 in pitching
Rob DiPietro - 2,708
Justin Aspite - 2,676
Michael Brophy 16th at 2,653 only has Sale on 2 of 3 teams
Steve Weimer 19th
Phil Dussault 21st
Champions League
Aaron Jones - 1st at 112 points
Solid squad, healthy for the most part and good balance

Solid roster, working to figure out saves (14th) after losing Diaz
Andrew Geller - 3rd at 94.5
Super balanced, Fairbanks on IL

Randy Haines and I continue our team previews with the Toronto Blue Jays. The pods are not meant to be a deep dive into each and every player on each team, but more so identifying some interesting ADP's (Draft Champions), items of importance on their depth charts - either with paths for players in playing time or vice versa- any how some recent news may dictate some player interest.
Toronto
Jeff Hoffman is not draftable at current ADP with recent rumors ? Whats the price where it becomes comfortable to take a shot?
Gausman/Bieber/Yesavage all going within a round of each other
Early drafters not buying Nathan Lukes
Berrios post 400 in DCs is appealing
Louie Varland starter or reliever?

Tampa Bay
Close - Uceta vs Jax vs the field
Does the Yandy trade finally happen? Who benefits most if it does?
Carson Williams chances of being the primary SS?
McClanahan cost through the offseason
Their catcher depth chart is ugly enough it makes Dominic Keegan semi interesting (hasn’t been drafted yet this year) not good first try at AAA but 125 wRC+ or better at every stop prior

New York
They have to add an SP for front quarter of the season
Rodon vs Cole with a 100 pick difference?
Who is Bednar's handcuff?
Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz likely gets a shot at some point, big K number jump last year after he got to NYY

Sonny Gray trade - rotation fallout
Connelly Early price going forward?
Some crowded offensive spots
Who takes over the Rob Refsnyder role?
Harrison/Crawford/Sandoval interest post pick 475?
Whitlock weirdly expensive at 436? Considering he goes around plenty of SPs

EP 335: 2025 NFBC Draft Champions Overall Winner James Tomony
I am joined by the 2025 NFBC Draft Champions winner James Tomony. Jim has now won the NFBC's three biggest overall events- The Main Event, Online Championship, and now the DC- joining Lindy Hinkelman as the only other person to pull off that feat.
We discuss

- Nearly 7 categories with 94th percentile and over
- Strategy / Roster construction talk
- Do you have a typical approach to building your DC teams?
- Are you using percentile targets while drafting?

EP 317: Ha-Seong Kim, Ronny Henriquez, Joey Cantillo: NFBC Main Event Week 16 FAAB Recap w/ Dom
The boys are back recapping the player movement from the NFBC Main Event Week 14 FAAB. Plus we look at the possible first round of 2026 drafts
Lowest spend per team, but still a lot of activity
2 Players over $1,000
4 Players over $500
Henriquez - 2 saves and a win in 3 IP last week with 5 Ks. Not much else out there which likely drove up the price to the $70 level on avg.
HSK - 1 game then hurt again
Cantillo - sent down to AAA to stretch out in June, built up to 3.1 IP, how long until he gets to 5 IP a start?
Colson Montgomery - .625 BABIP in first 3 MLB games. Hit .218 with a 34% K-rate at his 2nd season at AAA
Max Muncy Jr. - Gelof call-up and Urias IL shifts him to 3B, but does Andujar eat into his PT? Kurtz, Muncy, Andujar haven't been on the field at the same time this year
Jordan Hicks - Sunday save tax + every Trade Deadline article mentioning Aroldis as the likeliest candidate to be traded
Will Benson - 7 game week at GABP vs. all RHP - but Rockies sent Dollander down :-(
Schneider - Had started 7 straight including vs. 4 RHP last week and moved up to 5th in the order. Gimenez to the IL, Bo and Vlad have been banged up. Are Loperfido and Wagner threats to his PT?
Brooks Baldwin - played in 6 of the 7 games since getting recalled (all in CF) and moved up as high as cleanup in the order - does he stick when LuBob returns?
Harrison Bader - Willi has shifted to the infield which is good for Bader's PT
Starting Pitchers - Gusto, Allen, Burrows, Fitts, SWR, Colin Rea
Stashes - Pablo Lopez, Nestor, Zebby, Francisco Alvarez
Normal Contest Spending Coverage
Most Money Spent
Widely added players (over 15 leagues)

EP 313: Jac Caglianone, Ronny Mauricio - Main Event Week 12 FAAB Recap w/ Dom
The boys are back recapping the player movement from the NFBC Main Event Week 101 FAAB and are joined by NFBC sharp Gregg Martin
News
- Roman Anthony - called up but owned everywhere so nothing actionable. What is the fantasy fallout once Abreu is back?
- Eury - season debut
- Ryan Weathers - shoulder injury now?
- Leody DFA
- Orioles getting healthy - Mullins, TON and Westburg should all return this week. Cowser returned last week. This cannot be good for Laureano/Carlson/Urias/Mayo
Most Money Spent
8 Players over $1,000
11 Players over $500
Cag
Ronny Mo
Teel
Meadows
SGL - 3.2 IP in his first start, 2-step this week but I was worried he might not even pitch 5 innings. Olson and Cobb rehabbing, he should still stick but who knows?
David Fry - I know the Guards have a lot of lefties upcoming but I was shocked to see him added so widely and for $24 on average
Festa - Feels like a tremendous price given the job security with Pablo and Zebby down for the foreseeable future
McGreevy - made another spot start on Sunday but back to AAA today
Elder - gem in SF this week taking AJSS's spot in the rotation. Gets Colorado this week but schedule might get a little tougher if he stays on the current schedule, but he's a rainout away from lining up vs. Miami and the Angels instead of some Mets and Phillies games.
Laureano - Mullins and TON are set to return this week - has he done enough to carve out a near everyday job?
Wenceel Perez - off the IL on 5/26, played all but one game until Friday, then sat Friday and Sunday, probably what caused the 7 drops in addition to the 29 adds. Seems like since Meadows came back, they gave Tork, Keith, and Carpenter all a day off each and used those to get Perez in.
SPs - Wrobleski, Burrows, Walter, Priester, Parker
OFs - Freeman, Melton, Jerar
IF - Nick Gonzales, Ryan Ritter, Romy
RPs - Randy Rodriguez, Chris Martin
Keep or Drop
Zebby
Weathers
Pablo
Max Meyer
Tony Gonsolin
