Joe Pisapia (⁠⁠⁠⁠@JoePisapia17⁠⁠⁠⁠) and Chris Welsh (⁠⁠⁠⁠@IsItTheWelsh⁠⁠⁠⁠) recorded this episode of "Leading Off" LIVE on Twitch! Make sure you follow us on Twitch at ⁠⁠⁠twitch.tv/fantasypros⁠⁠⁠ and never miss a stream!

In this edition, the guys share their condolences for the banged up San Diego Padres, plus former stud arms like Boston Red Sox SP Garrett Crochet and Atlanta Braves SP Chris Sale, who are struggling out of the gate. They also check in on Minor League prospects, who are pressing the issue, and veteran Major League players like Pittsburgh Pirates SP Paul Skenes, who are letting fantasy managers down.

From headlines to best bets and home run calls, The Pros step back into the batter's box!
