BP Annual Player Comments

YearComment
2019  Due to publishing agreements, the 2019 player comments and team essays are only available in the Baseball Prospectus 2019 book (available in hardcopy, and soon e-book and Kindle).
2018 Austin Maddox is blessed with a name straight out of an Elmore Leonard book, a good fastball and fortuitous timing. He waited until the majors to stop throwing so many balls, which is how he made the playoff roster over other relievers you’ve actually heard of.
