Fantasy Baseball: Blake Snell looks like an ace once again - CBS Sports

In a Fantasy Baseball evaluation, the focus turns to Kade Anderson, whose much-hyped MLB debut did not meet the highest expectations. The article says Anderson’s first start wasn’t bad: he struck out the Cubs lineup without getting into major trouble, but he lacked the “transcendent” impact some had projected. It praises his deep pitch arsenal and command, using all four pitches at least 20% of the time and issuing only two walks. However, it flags issues with his fastball after promotion, including reduced induced vertical break from 18.8 inches in Double-A to 15.4 in his MLB debut, plus a fade toward the low 92 mph range. The piece notes organizational and ballpark factors that can still help his development.
