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 2 WEEKS
- A look at players who were historically hot over the last 2 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. What you will see here are how each player fared between their 80th and 90th games over the last two years. For instance, who might have struggled or been average through the first week of games, and then really got a fire going after that?
Obviously there are a lot of variables when looking at this data, including: rookies, injuries, Covid-related absences, and being scratched. Therefore, I noted any player who only had ONE year’s worth of data due to one of those situations (especially since 2020 only had around 60 games).
