Chris Sale - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 127 CURRENT ADP: ~134 overall ANALYSIS: As with the last several seasons for Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale, 2023 was marred by injury.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 114 CURRENT ADP: ~156 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Reds infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand earned his call-up after crushing 52 long balls over a year and a half in the minors.

BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 142 CURRENT ADP: ~160 overall ANALYSIS: There's a lot to like about Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober, especially after a strong 2023 campaign. He finished with a 3.50 ERA, a 1.067 WHIP, 146 strikeouts, and 29 walks across 26 starts. Ober continues to pitch well when given opportunities... Read More
Jackson Chourio - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Draft Values (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 147 CURRENT ADP: ~155 overall ANALYSIS: Chourio made waves in the prospect community in 2022 as a young 18-year-old who completely skipped the Complex and headed off to Single-A Carolina, where he hit the ground running. Chourio made it to Double-A in 2022 and, between three levels, slashed .288/.342/.538... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 56 CURRENT ADP: ~95 ANALYSIS: Did you hear that? Oneil Cruz just crushed another baseball into the stands.

Hunter Brown - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 136 CURRENT ADP: ~156 overall ANALYSIS: A surface-level analysis would suggest that Hunter Brown is a great sleeper for 2024. His 5.09 ERA masked a 3.52 xFIP across his 155⅔ IP, his 26.8 K% and 8.3 BB% were solid, and his .330 BABIP, 68.8% strand rate, and 21% HR/FB appear primed... Read More
Ricky Tiedemann - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Draft Values (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 372 CURRENT ADP: ~390 overall ANALYSIS: The hype surrounding the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect is building towards a fever pitch. The hard-throwing lefty also features a sharp, biting slider, and a plus changeup. His minor league numbers are pretty incredible; however, he's thrown only 78 and 44 innings... Read More
Brandon Lowe - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 233 CURRENT ADP: ~328 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe hit 21 home runs in just 109 games in 2023. However, his NFBC ADP is 271. That is not because of his talent or capabilities but his inability to stay healthy. Lowe has been limited to 174 of... Read More
Pete Fairbanks - Fantasy Baseball Closer Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 98 CURRENT ADP: ~115 overall ANALYSIS: Pete Fairbanks is another closer that managers tend to be gun-shy about due to his injury history. The hard-throwing right-hander made two trips to the IL last season due to inflammation in his forearm and his ship. Looking further back, Fairbanks double-dipped in 2021... Read More
Triston Casas - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)

Vinnie Pasquantino - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 150 CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS: Vinnie Pasquantino, a man of some great nicknames, was a draft-day darling last season, shooting up boards in March.

Anthony Volpe - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 122 CURRENT ADP: ~139 ANALYSIS: Anthony Volpe's production in 2023 was useful in fantasy but somewhat frustrating.

Jake Burger - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 140 CURRENT ADP: ~170 ANALYSIS: Miami Marlins third baseman Jake Burger entered the fantasy consciousness with a bang in 2023, slashing .250/.309/.518 with 34 HR in 540 PAs.

Jackson Merrill - Fantasy Baseball Prospect Sleepers (2024)
ANALYSIS: Merrill was selected 27th overall in 2021 on an under-slot deal but was a successful scouting find by the Padres. Since being drafted, Merill has done nothing but hit and has shown progress with his hit tool every season despite being young for the level. From a pure contact standpoint, you would be hard-pressed... Read More
Wyatt Langford - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Draft Values (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 84 CURRENT ADP: ~164 overall ANALYSIS: Langford mashed in his career at Florida, hitting 47 home runs and slashing .363/.471/.746 while striking out just 14.6 percent of the time and walking 15 percent across 610 plate appearances.

The lefty also scored 63 runs... Read More
Bryce Miller - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 167 CURRENT ADP: ~181 overall ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller is a sleeper that everyone should target in fantasy drafts this season.

Seiya Suzuki - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 98 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: Seiya Suzuki took a big step forward in his second year in the bigs. He improved upon his home runs, runs, RBI, batting average, OBP, wOBA, slugging percent, ISO, and hard-hit rate. He also cut down the strikeouts and improved his plate discipline. ATC believes... Read More
Ke'Bryan Hayes - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 144 CURRENT ADP: ~188 ANALYSIS: We’ve yet to see a full season (150-plus games) out of Ke'Bryan Hayes but breakout signs are emerging. The 27-year-old brought his strikeout rate down for a second straight year while bumping his ISO to .182 from .101 in ‘22. His average exit velocity... Read More
Jackson Holliday - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Draft Values (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 153 CURRENT ADP: ~184 overall ANALYSIS: Holliday hits and hits some more. Between four levels as a 19-year-old last season, Holliday slashed .323/.442/.499 with 12 home runs, making it to Triple-A by season's end.

Trevor Story - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 165 CURRENT ADP: ~226 ANALYSIS: There are a couple of Boston Red Sox players that we can get at a nice price in drafts and Trevor Story is another one. With what looks to be a solid (and full) season for Trevor Story, Boston has him set to hit... Read More

Jarren Duran - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 125 CURRENT ADP: ~199 ANALYSIS: Jarren Duran is having a solid Spring training so far and continues to move up the draft boards, but is still being underdrafted according to our RotoBaller rankings.

Mason Miller - Fantasy Baseball Closer Draft Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 240 CURRENT ADP: ~286 overall ANALYSIS: Entering spring training, Mason Miller was a buzzy RP2 pick after it was reported that he was moving to the bullpen this season.

Christopher Morel - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 173 CURRENT ADP: ~195 ANALYSIS: In Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Christopher Morel's second season in the bigs, his full power potential was put on display, belting 26 HRs in just 388 ABs with an elite 24.8% HR/FB%, which was 11th best in all of baseball in 2023. The 24-year-old's 95th percentile... Read More
Parker Meadows - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 250 CURRENT ADP: ~322 overall ANALYSIS: Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows is a power-speed threat worth clicking near pick 300. His 3 HR/8 SB in 37 games as a rookie yields a ~12/30 seasonal pace, but don’t overlook the minors. He provided a 20 HR/17 SB/.275 AVG line over... Read More
Zach Eflin - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 65 CURRENT ADP: ~76 overall ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Zach Eflin had an outstanding first season with his new team in 2023.

Jose Alvarado - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 171 CURRENT ADP: ~183 overall ANALYSIS: Jose Alvarado was awesome last year. He pitched to a 1.74 ERA, 2.82 xERA, and 1.16 WHIP with a 37 percent strikeout rate.
