MLB: Leading Off May 17th, 2024 (EP. 814)

This week, Ryan Wormeli and Mike Maher break down the Ronel Blanco cheating scandal, the new swing data released by Baseball Savant, and a detailed look at likely trade candidates before the deadline including Jo Adell, Alex Bregman, Mason Miller, Nolan Arenado, Jesus Luzard, Michael Kopech, and others. The Prospect Corner returns this week as Chris Welsh breaks down Paul Skenes’ debut and forecasts his season, along with insights on Christian Scott, Jackson Holliday, and Jasson Dominguez’s return. In the Buy Low, Sell High segment, Worm and Maher discuss potential steals like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and whether or not you should sell high on Aaron Judge or Reese Olson. And you won’t want to miss the latest two-start pitcher competition update because both hosts suffered a brutal loss over the last two weeks.
