Christian Encarnacion-Strand Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)
Christian Encarnacion-Strand projected to 150 Games vs RHP and LHP with 12 team mixed fantasy value. This helps identify a player's platoon value for fantasy baseball based on pitcher handedness. These projections - combining Steamer rates and Razzball projected PA/Game and R/RBI - are a MUCH better indicator of a hitter's platoon splits than in-season stats since it involves multiple years of data and has been properly regressed to league averages. Since games are neutralized across players, values for everyday players may look smaller than for preseason/season to date/rest of season where they benefit from playing time advantages vs other players. In general, left-handed hitters have larger platoon splits.| PA | AB | R | HR | RBI | SB | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS | BABIP | K% | BB% | $ | |

Christian Encarnacion-Strand Fantasy Outlook For 2024
Grey Albright Player Summary Almost write a sleeper post for CES too, but I tried not to do too many totally goofy pie-in-the-sky types this year for sleepers. Just more meat and potatoes, Hamburger Helper gonna help you find value. CES doesn’t have the meat yet, making him an Impossible 1st Baseman. Where’s the beef in Cincy? On top of the spaghetti and likely with Jeimer Candelario, sadly. Can’t trust CES to get anywhere close to 550 ABs to get real value. Maybe that changes in the spring, but for now, gotta be realistic. Hopefully come mid-March I move him out of the mids.
