About Kodo Analytics
Kodo (鼓動) is Japanese for pulse or heartbeat: the steady rhythm of signal underneath the daily noise of a fantasy slate. Kodo Analytics makes independent fantasy analysis for baseball and hockey, built around your team, in your league, under your scoring.
Two sites, one approach
Every page is anchored to data we ingest and can point at. No vibes-based rankings and no unattributed hot takes. Connect your league and the tools read through your roster: who is rostered in your league, who is genuinely free, and what your categories reward.
Kodo Baseball
Fantasy baseball analytics at baseball.kodoanalytics.com: buy-low and sell-high signals backed by xStats against actual results, Stuff+ pitch grades built in-house, the closer grid and bullpen leverage, two-start pitchers, lineups and depth charts, and prospect rankings and call-ups.
My League connects a Yahoo, Fantrax, ESPN, Ottoneu or CBS league for your matchup, team analysis, lineup optimizer, free agents and trade analyzer.
Data comes from the MLB Stats API, Baseball Savant (Statcast), FanGraphs Steamer and ZiPS projections, and a curated feed of beat reporters. How the baseball models work
Kodo Hockey
Fantasy hockey analytics at hockey.kodoanalytics.com: projections you can tune or replace, ice time and role, line combinations measured from shift charts, power-play deployment, expected goals, and goaltending modelled on the crease.
A draft suite (a live draft room synced to Yahoo and ESPN drafts, a mock room, an auction room and a downloadable Excel workbook), My League for Yahoo, ESPN and Fantrax leagues, and a morning briefing that also goes out as a daily email.
Data comes from the NHL's public feeds and shift charts, CapWages for contracts, Fantrax and ESPN for draft position, and beat writers on X. How the hockey models work
The Kodo app
One app for both sports is in development: your leagues, alerts, and a live tracker for your lineup and your opponent tonight. It is not available to download yet. Join a newsletter to hear when it is.
How the articles work
Articles on both sites are drafted from structured data under rules that forbid inventing any name, stat, date or quote that is not in the data. Every draft is then read, edited and approved by the site's creator. Nothing publishes on its own.
Who runs this
Kodo Analytics is a one-person project, built and maintained by Brandon Landry, an economics-trained analyst. The code, models, data pipelines, editorial review and articles on both sites are the work of one operator. No investors, no outside funding, and no paid placements in the rankings, articles or tools.
That background shapes the approach: prefer real-data signals over narrative, weight by sample size, treat uncertainty explicitly, and never claim a number you cannot source.
Independence and fair use
Kodo Analytics is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, any of their teams, or any fantasy platform. Team names, abbreviations, logos and player names are used for identification only, and all trademarks belong to their owners. Fantasy league data is accessed only through the official interfaces of the platform you connect, and only with your permission.
Both sites carry display advertising through Google AdSense, and Kodo Baseball carries some labeled affiliate links. How your data is handled is set out in the Privacy Policy.
