2024 MLB Season Preview For All 30 Teams Outline
Getting you ready for Opening Day with our team-by-team guides to the 2024 MLB season...
Hello Steele Sports Bar Patrons!
I wanted to jump on and give you a quick update on our planned preview content for the 2024 Major League Baseball regular season.
The flagship feature will be a season preview for all 30 teams in the big leagues. We’re still a couple of weeks out from Opening Day, so there is still plenty of time to get all 30 out.
And, with the LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres opening up the 2024 regular season in Seoul, South Korea, I will release the previews for those teams first.
Now, these won’t be the kind of cookie-cutter team previews that you will find in a million other places on the internet. No, that would be doing you all a major disservice.
Instead, I plan to do a deep dive into each team and cover as many bases as I possibly can. I’ve been busy thrashing out the exact layout for each preview, hence the delay in rolling these out.
So, here is a taster of what you can expect from each team preview as I get ready to launch this feature over the next couple of days:
The Lead Off
I’ll open each preview with a compelling storyline that has really grabbed my attention for each team. This could be anything ranging from a big offseason addition to an impending move to Vegas - I’m looking at you, Oakland A’s.
Breakout Player
I’ve been doing a plethora of research throughout spring training, and I’ve made a pretty sizable list of under-the-radar players and young studs who I believe could emerge as key cogs for their respective teams in 2024.
The One Prospect To Watch Out For
I love watching the future stars of tomorrow work their way up the minor leagues in the hope of earning the coveted call-up to The Show, and there are a slew of elite prospects that could make their Major League Debut in 2024. I’ll be profiling a standout young stud for each team. Spoiler alert; phenom shortstop Jackson Holliday is my pick for the Orioles.
One Reason For Success / One Reason For Failure
This is pretty self-explanatory. For each team, I’ll detail one reason why they could be successful in 2024, and one factor behind why they could ultimately fail.
Wildcard Player / X-Factor / Scenario To Watch Out
I believe every team has a player, X-Factor or certain situation that isn’t being talked about now, but will be once we really get into the meaty part of the 2024 season. I’ll outline what I think that is for each franchise and really dive deep into why I think that will have an impact on the season ahead.
One Quirky / Under-heralded Player I Love About Each Team
I don’t know about you, but I love rooting for the underdog. It’s a magical part of sports that makes being a sports fan so much fun. Therefore, I have a list of underdogs on every MLB team that I can’t wait to watch in 2024. DJ Stewart on the Mets is the kind of player I’m talking about. Brandon Crawford, a lifer with the Giants before signing with the Cardinals this past offseason, could be another candidate.
I have a habit of constantly coming up with fresh, new, weird ideas as I’m trying to go to sleep, so I’m sure there will be a couple of alternative additions to each preview as we progress. But, what you see above will form the crux of our team previews for the 2024 MLB regular season.
Look out for the in-depth guides on the Dodgers and the Padres over the next couple of days.
