Hot ice! I heat up...the ice cubes! It’s the best of both worlds! Well in Fantasy Baseball we rarely see Hot Ice, we typically see more fire streaks or cold streaks. The purpose of this article is to look at the “2’s.”
- A look at which players are hot and cold over the last two WEEKS
- A look at players who were historically hot over the last two years. The fun part of this is while you may research which players were hot in April vs. June, what I did was take a culmination of each player’s game individually, and then put a count on each one. So what you will see is how each player fared between their 51st and 60th games over the last two years. Who might have struggled or been average through the first week of games, and then really got a fire going after that, for instance. Obviously there are a lot of variables when looking at this data, including: rookies, injuries, Covid-related absences, and being scratched...so I noted any player who only had ONE year’s worth of data due to one of those situations.
For now it’s just batters, but if the appetite is there, I will start to add in pitchers as well.
