Esmerlyn Valdez - Breakout Players, July 2026 [ImT6dLyok5U]
They're calling him The Magician in Pittsburgh and he's been crushing it. The real deal or Shane Spencer vibes? We break down MLB hitters using analytics data to help you get deeper insights into a player’s performance and more confidence in projecting what’s to come. Our overall player rating is based on a composite of twelve stats - combining home runs, OPS, barrel rate, exit velocity, xBA, xSLG, K%, BB%, bat speed, stolen bases, runs, and total bases. We use this rating to rank the player against other players at his position group and overall. Batter and pitcher rankings are calculated separately. Stats are provided courtesy of Baseball Savant/Statcast. Music by The Charioteer. #Pirates #FantasyBaseball #EsmerlynValdez #themagician #waiverwirepickups
