I as I wrote yesterday, statistics are a very important thing to pay close attention to if you want to excel in fantasy baseball. Today I am going to give you some of my how to tips on how to look for those all elusive fantasy baseball sleepers I noted in my article yesterday.
Are you ready to learn one of my most secretive tip I can give you in the fantasy baseball world?
Well here we go, one of my “key indicators” for finding fantasy baseball sleepers is, you want to look at second half numbers.
You may be asking what do you mean by second half numbers? Well, when people in fantasy baseball refer to a player’s “second half numbers” it means the statistics of a player during the previous baseball season from after the all-star break to the end of the year. These stats can be easily found on a number website, but I prefer http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb this site allows you to look up players under the player tab. Then the best part is they have a tab right under the players picture you looked up called “Split Stats” it will then show you all the players stats split up in all different ways. It is kind of like when you go to the horse track where they show how a horse does in 1 mile races vs 1 and a quarter mile races or on grass vs dirt tracks.
Well now that you understand and know where to look for a player’s “second half numbers”. Let me explain what things you should target when looking at these numbers. The number one thing that strikes me is when a player has a high average in the second half of a season. This can tell you a number of things, usually good, about a player. Such as, maybe the player was a rookie and starting feeling comfortable or maybe the player was injured and in the second half became healthy etc. These are things that show some of the potential a player has also known as Fantasy baseball sleepers.
Another “key indicator” that I like to look at when I am trying to find some fantasy baseball sleepers is how the player is affected in the batting line up due to various different things. You want to think about will your player be moved up into a more favorable batting position or down to an undesirable position. This well most likely effect his runs batted in and his runs.
Well these are a few of my “key indicators” I use when I am looking for fantasy baseball sleepers. I hope this helps you out when you are searching for your own fantasy baseball sleepers and helps you further understand how to play fantasy baseball.
