BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 225
CURRENT ADP: ~240 overall
ANALYSIS: Miami Marlins infielder Jean Segura could be in for a quality fantasy season in his first year with the National League East club. The veteran, who spent the last four years with the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, hit .277 with a .336 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and 13 stolen bases in 387 plate appearances last year in his final season with the defending National League champions.
The stolen bases were the most the infielder has collected since the 2018 season, and he could be in for more stolen bases in 2023 thanks to the introduction of larger bases. There's certainly the potential for Segura to reach the 20-stolen base mark, something he did for six consecutive seasons from 2013 to 2018.
Elsewhere, with a batting average above .270 in seven of his last nine full Major League seasons, Segura has one of the better track records in the league where average is concerned. Combine that with the stolen base upside, and the 32-year-old's home run potential – he's recorded double-digit home runs in each of the last five seasons – and it gives him plenty of fantasy upside heading into the 2023 season.
