The latest episode of Locked on Fantasy Baseball highlights key player performances as the MLB season unfolds. Kairen Paris has emerged as a hot commodity with impressive stats, making him a prime candidate for trading while his value is high. Meanwhile, Nathan Eovaldi and Nick Pavetta are discussed for their potential sell-high opportunities, despite their recent successes. Top closers Emanuel Clase and Devin Williams are noted for their rough starts, but both are still seen as valuable assets to target. The episode emphasizes strategic trading to enhance fantasy rosters.

Kaiwen Paris continues to impress, boasting a .440 batting average with five home runs and four stolen bases early in the season. His recent swing change, inspired by Aaron Judge's hitting coach, appears to be paying dividends. Despite a lackluster minor league track record, his performance has drawn attention, making him a potential must-add player in roto leagues.

Kevin Gausman made a strong showing against the Red Sox, striking out ten over eight innings despite concerns about his splitter's effectiveness. His fastball is showing improvement, but question marks remain regarding his ability to maintain elite status without consistent secondary pitches. Meanwhile, Tyler Mahle's resurgence with the Reds may signal a bounce-back after Tommy John surgery, making him an intriguing fantasy option as he showcases a revitalized fastball.

Max Meyer also turned heads with six shutout innings against the Mets, but his future prospects are clouded by the Marlins' frequent early hooks. The Brewers put on a hitting clinic against the Rockies, with notable contributions from Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich. As injuries pile up across the league, players like Wyatt Langford and Pablo Lopez are expected to miss time, creating opportunities for emerging talents.
