Uncommon Stats for Uncommon Players
YOU GET Home/Road and RH/LH splits for hitters and pitchers!
YOU GET depth charts by position and handedness of pitcher!
YOU GET side-by-side contrasts of projected starting pitchers!
YOU GET recent week-by-week production in points leagues!
YOU GET team offenses and strength of upcoming schedules!
All this information is carefully arranged on easy-to-print pages. And to give you a jump on newsstand publications, each week's issue is generally waiting for you first thing TUESDAY MORNING.
HEATER features three sections: 30 team pages (one for each MLB team), 17 hitter pages (one for each position and league), and 8 pitcher pages (two for each position -- starter or reliever -- and league). This approach lets us show players in different contexts. The wealth of data is buttressed by two pages of fantasy baseball coverage, a page of Hot Hands, a page of year-to-date minor-league stats and commentary for top prospects, and more! It's like a Draft Package every week of the season!
