Daily strike summary of fantastic baseball: 4/5/25

Trent Grisham (Nyy): 2-4, 2 h, 2 R, 4 RBI.

Trent Grisham is better known for his glove than his bat as a member of the New York Yankees.

In 76 games and 209 plaque matches last season, Grisham struck. 190 with a .675 OPS. He struck nine circuits, collected 31 products produced and marked 21 points with the Bronx Bombers in limited action. Surprisingly, these figures have been a bit upgrading what he has done in his last two seasons in San Diego. In 2023, he struck. 198 with a .667 ops in 555 plaques appearances; In 2022, he struck. 184 with a .625 OPS in 524 plaques appearances.

Thus, Grisham has been a relevant striker in fantastic baseball for a long time. He had a settlement after 2021 when he reached 15 circuits, stole 13 bases, displayed an average of .242 and a .740 OPS. Unfortunately, all of this was downhill for the old Brewers 1st round recovery choice from 2022 to 2024.

That said, Grisham does his best to resume relevance this season as a person who can provide surprising production at the bottom of the Yankees range.

On Saturday, the 28 -year -old voltiseur struck two circuits, scored two points and collected four points produced against the Pittsburgh Pirates at the PNC Park. In 21 plaques appearances this year, he strikes. 471 with a 1,630 ops. This includes three circuits, seven produced points and eight points scored in seven games with the Yankees.

With Alex Verdugo Party and Giancarlo Stanton on IL, Grisham undoubtedly benefits from his first opportunities in 2025.

His first statcast measures are also encouraging. Its hard and medium -sized output speed metrics rank in the 83rd centile. Its square rate ranks in the 95th centile. Not only does he strike the ball well, but he continues and also does less tasks. This is highlighted by its prosecution rate of 22.2% and its assistance rate of 20.8%, which rank respectively in the 76th and 73rd centiles.

Who knows how much Grisham will continue this? After all, he had three consecutive striking seasons under the Mendoza line.

Nevertheless, he is probably someone available on derogations that is worth collecting or spending FAAB money, especially since he is part of a range of Yankees that burns the ball to start the season.

Let’s see how the other strikers did on Saturday.

Matt Mervis (Mia): 3-5, 2 h, 2 R, 3 RBI.

Mervis struggled to obtain opportunities in Chicago because he only played 36 games with the Cubs in two seasons. However, he obtained a lot of bats in Miami and draws the best party. He struck two circuits on Saturday and sports an OPS of .865 in 21 appearances, seven of his total with the cubs a season ago. Straight withdrawals are still in clusters for Mervis (rate of 41.2% K). However, the power seems legitimate, and it will have many opportunities to display it with a team of reconstruction marlins.

SHEA LAGELIERS (ATH): 1-2, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, 3 bb.

After having struck 29 circuits and published a .738 OPS in 482 plates in 2024, the receiver of A left in 2025. He strikes .259 with a .987 ops in 33 appearances on the plates, and he collected three circuits, his latest coming against Rockies. Langeliers has long been known as a low-average, but high power Big-Power Receiver. However, its rate K is less than 20% (17.2%) and its BB rate is greater than 10% (10.3%). Thus, the 27 -year -old can become a more balanced striker, which makes him an even more important asset in fantasy.

CARSON KELLY (CHC): 2-3, HR, R, 4 RBI, BB.

With an average of career .227 and 0.691 Ops, Kelly has long been the MLB aid receiver par excellence. However, he does his part with the bat to make an intriguing option of derogation. In 22 plates appearances, he strikes. 467 with an OPS of 1.658. He also has two circuits, with his latest arrival on Saturday at Wrigley Field against the Padres. This hot sequence will not last long, but Kelly is perhaps worth taking a leaflet, especially in the leagues with two sensors.

TJ Friedl (Cin): 4-5, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI.

After having had difficulties outside the door in 2025, the Reds bats finally broke out on a 11-7 victory on Saturday. Friedl was one of the catalysts with four strokes, two points produced and its first circuit stroke of the season. The cincinnati’s head man strikes 0.294 with a .715 OPS in 36 plates appearances. Hopefully that for the good of the Reds, his home run today can make him go to the top of power at the top of the programming.

Jesse Winker (Nym): 3-4, 2b, 2 3b, 2 RBI.

The emphasis was put on Juan Soto and Pete Alonso in Queens, and it is understandable, because of their status as “superstar”. However, people should not sleep on what Winker did with the food in 2025. In 20 appearances on the plates, he strikes. 294 with a .988 ops. Unfortunately, it does not produce in any fantastic relevant category beyond the average. He had no circuit, no point has scored and only four points produced. That said, if he continues to hit the ball as it was, the races and the circuits will come soon.

Wyatt Langford (TEXAS): 1-3, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB.

Langford had only one blow on Saturday. However, he was counting, launching a home run of two points at the end of the 7th against the Rays. After a decent season of 4 pm and 19-BS during its recruited season, Langford has reached three circuits this year and has an Ops of 0.881, an improvement of 140 points compared to its brand in 2024. A 20-20 season could be on the horizon if Langford remains healthy.

Jonathan Aranda (TBR): 2-4, 2b, HR, R, 2 RBI.

After being more a complementary player for Tampa in the past two seasons, Aranda could be on the way to break out. He strikes 0.350 with a 1.167 OPS, and he struck his first circuit of the year on Saturday against the Rangers. The 26-year-old crushes the ball, because his hard-hit rate ranks in the 92nd centile and his percentage of the Sweet-Pot ranks in the 99th centile via Savant. As a first defensive goal player, Aranda may not have an appropriate position with Yandy Díaz, who is still in Tampa. Nevertheless, he will have a regular place in the programming of the rays if he continues to strike like that.

Spencer Torkelson (DET): 2-4, 2b, HR, R, RBI.

Torkelson finally begins to lose the “Bust” label which has haunting him since he is the overall choice n ° 1 in the recovery of the MLB 2020. He strikes .345 with a 1,127 ops in 36 plate appearances this season, and he collected his second home run of the year on Saturday. He launches the ball better than ever, because his percentage The Sweet-Pot ranks in the 96th centile. It always removes a lot (rate of 34.4% K). This can prevent him from reaching heights of “superstar”. However, he looks like a 25 -year -old and over striker that Tigers will gladly take this season.

Jose Altuve (Hou): 3-5, HR, R, RBI.

Astros programming is a work in progress through eight games this season. Yordan Alvarez, Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker all hit the Mendoza line, and Yainer Diaz hits under. 100. Fortunately, Altuve was a model of coherence at the head point. The 34 -year -old man strikes. 364 with a .945 OPS, and Saturday, he launched his second home run of the season. The all-star of nine times can play a new position this year (left field), but that did not prevent it from being a fantastic force at the end.
