Fantasy Impact:
The Padres showed Paddack the spin numbers on his fastball from 2019 and 2020. The young right-hander was never one to dive into analytics but says the results "blew his mind." He had a massive problem with homers last summer, so this should only be seen as good news for fantasy managers looking for a bounce back performance this year. Still, we'll want to see some results before getting excited about Paddack as a high-end fantasy SP again.
