Lenny's Daily Podcast Jan 12, 2026

The podcast explores potential breakout hitters in baseball based on expected Weighted On-Base Average (WOBA) and discusses MLB's attempts to attract new fans. It highlights players like Kyle Stowers, whose elite power metrics are tempered by a high strikeout rate, and Jonathan Aranda, who is expected to play every day. The conversation also covers Dominic Canzone, assessing his fantasy potential in different league formats, and Lennon Sosa, who offers a solid infield pick. The hosts debate the merits of MLB's in-season tournament proposal and rule changes, questioning whether these strategies alienate core fans in pursuit of a younger audience.
