50 Spots in 50 Days - Hitters

Obviously we have our hot sheets week in and week out which help us keep track of the players who are performing at an elite level over the course of seven days. That doesn’t mean that only players who qualify are playing well though and there are a number of ways that you can climb the rankings without necessarily having a “hot week”. Could be a promotion to a level where you’re performing well for your age, you’ve improved your power, etc. but it might not show as a 1.000 OPS in that box score. For that reason I like to do these articles periodically throughout the season to check on the hitters that have been making strides but may not have seen their autograph price catch up yet. It’s been about 50 days since all minor league levels started so we’re going to revisit rankings from 50 days ago and see not only who has gone up the most but what changes we’ve seen to their autograph prices. Of course many of them are up 200, 500, 1,000% but some of them have seen very little increase or in same cases have gone done. When it comes to finding value being able to recognize the players that are trending up while their price is trending down can be a key in finding great buying opportunities.
