HotHand Fantasy
A fantasy baseball lineup assistant that watches MLB box scores every night, spots the under-the-radar role players (like Ernie Clement going 15-for-44 over 12 games) the mainstream projections miss, and tells you who to grab off the waiver wire before the streak cools.
Season-long and daily fantasy baseball managers who want an edge beyond big-name projections
- Hot-streak detector (rolling 7/12/30-game windows) with cooling-risk probability
- Waiver priority list flagging hidden trends vs. obvious pickups
- Lineup alerts when a streaking player's role changes (e.g., Clement batting leadoff vs. Springer)
- Cross-league sync for ESPN/Yahoo/Sleeper so recommendations land where your roster is
Clement's three-hit game and 12-game heater is the exact kind of MLB narrative fantasy players are searching for — useful hot streaks are trending, the projections are lagging behind.

MLB season is a roughly 6-month active window (April–September) with a draft/presale offseason, so revenue is highly seasonal; users do return year-over-year, but a niche product faces short engagement windows per year.
Box-score and play-by-play data is publicly available via MLB Stats API and FanGraphs, so hot-streak detection is buildable, but league-sync (Yahoo/ESPN/CBS) is the real moat that incumbents already own and a newcomer must integrate.
