Nick Gordon is a 2023 fantasy baseball draft sleeper at 2B/OF, and is an ADP draft value. Target Gordon as an undervalued 2B/OF in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 300
CURRENT ADP: ~320 overall
ANALYSIS: The Twins have been active this offseason, which has thrown Gordon's playing time into question at times. He's currently still holding on to the DH job, according to Roster Resource, and that assumes that Alex Kirilloff is healthy and Joey Gallo is able to keep a job as a starter. Despite the long list of viable names on the Twins roster, there are plenty of different ways for Gordon to find playing time especially given that he's a utility man defensively.
The reason to be excited about his offense is that he had a pretty sweet 45% hard-hit rate last year with a useful 23.8% strikeout rate - and he did that with a low 42% GB%. Only 17 hitters in the league had a K% under 24% with a hard-hit rate of 45% or better and a ground-ball rate under 45%. Most of those other names are stud hitters, so it's an intriguing power profile.
Gordon also has some speed (61st percentile). In 2021, he attempted 11 steals in just 216 PA, and then last year, he attempted 10 more in 443 PA. With the new rules and a starting job, I think Gordon can be a 20-steal guy. The dual position eligibility is awesome to have as well, so I'm very much interested in drafting Nick Gordon this year.
