Bailey Ober Shutout & A.J. Ewing's Electric Debut! (5/13 Fantasy Baseball Podcast)

The Fantasy Baseball Today podcast for May 13, 2026, dives into a standout performance by rookie pitcher Bailey Ober, who threw a near-perfect game with 14 whiffs and zero walks, sparking debate over whether his recent dominance is sustainable. Hosts Frank Stample, Scott White, and Chris analyze Ober’s declining velocity, reduced swing-and-miss rates, and shaky underlying metrics, ultimately cautioning against overvaluing his current form despite the eye-popping stats. The episode celebrates the electric debut of Mets prospect AJ Ewing, who went 1-for-2 with a triple, three walks, and a stolen base—highlighting his elite speed and plate discipline. The hosts debate Ewing’s upside in points leagues and compare him favorably to other prospects like Sam Antonacci and Ryan Waldschmidt. They also assess several pitchers returning from injury, including Mackenzie Gore, Paul Skeens, and Shane McClanahan, who are showing promise but lack consistency. Notable injury updates include Ronald Acuna’s delayed return, Brandon Nimmo’s ankle sprain, and the activation of Christian Yelich. The podcast concludes with waiver wire recommendations, including Ezekiel Duran and Dylan Dingler, and a deep dive into streaming options for Wednesday and Thursday, with strong picks like Reed Detmers, Ryan Nelson, and Robbie Snelling.
