Fantasy Baseball: Top low-owned pitchers to target in Week 6
Finding the perfect pitcher to add to your Fantasy baseball team can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which low-owned pitchers you should target heading into Week 6, you absolutely need to see what Fantasy analyst Jeff Zimmerman has to say.
Zimmerman has written at FanGraphs, Hardball Times, RotoWire, ESPN, Baseball America, and Beyond the Boxscore. He has won several FSTA awards including Best Baseball Series and Football Writer of the Year. He's participated in Tout Wars and won it twice (15-mixed auction and 12-team H2H). Along with Tanner Bell, he just published the first edition of "The Process", a complete guide for running your own fantasy baseball start-to-finish. If there's anybody who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.
Now, he's done an in-depth analysis of the best low-owned starting pitchers entering Week 6. One we'll give away: Athletics starter Chris Bassitt, who only owned in 18 percent of CBS Sports leagues.Â
"He has moved away from his sinker to his four-seam fastball," Zimmerman said. "The four-seamer has a historic swinging strike rate of 10 percent while the sinker was just half that. Additionally, he is throwing both his four-seamer (+1.0 mph) and slider (+1.7 mph) harder. He's also throwing a new change that is getting an additional 150 rpms of spin. Putting it all together, his pitches, except the sinker, have played up so far."
Zimmerman has also identified which pitchers you should target if your teams needs a jolt, including a player getting the call up from the minors who could have a BIG impact.Â
