Jorge Polanco is a 2023 fantasy baseball draft sleeper at 2B, and is an ADP draft value. Target Polanco as an undervalued 2B in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 135
CURRENT ADP: ~150 overall
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco had a disappointing, injury-riddled 2022 season for fantasy managers after a standout 2021 season. The 29-year-old slashed .235/.346/.405 with 16 home runs and 56 RBI in 445 plate appearances while spending time on the injured list with low back tightness and left knee inflammation. Several things contributed to Polanco not repeating his stellar 2021 campaign. The first was injuries, which fantasy managers should not worry about as long as Polanco enters 2023 healthy, as he has not been injury-prone throughout his career. The second was over-expectations. Polanco's 2022 batted-ball profile was similar to 2021, but he hadn't hit more than 22 HR previously and typically hit more for average.
Polanco is currently being drafted at pick 151 overall, a big drop from 78 last season. This places him as the 10th 2B overall. Polanco hasn't been the most exciting fantasy option outside of 2021, but he has been a reliable source of average, runs, and RBI while not killing fantasy managers in HR. Given his historical performance, Polanco's current ADP is a steal, assuming he enters the season healthy
