Inside the Rise of MacKenzie Gore and the Mysterious Potential of Gunnar Hoglund: What You Need to Know Now
The truth is that this seems like a new version of Gore. He may still hurt you (that appears to be in his nature from a fantasy baseball perspective), but this isn’t the same MacKenzie Gore we saw last year. A big clue as to why can be found in his splits.

Last year, Gore had issues with lefties. He allowed a .282/.368/.466 triple slash overall, but even in the strong starts at the beginning of the season, you could see the cracks in the foundation. In those first eight starts, he had a 30% strikeout rate to righties, which dropped to 26% against lefties. His walk rate in those first eight starts was just 5.3% against right-handed hitters but ballooned to 12.3% against lefties.
