ANALYSIS: Frelick was one of the most popular fantasy targets this past week, seeing his ownership grow exponentially. His first six games as an MLB player were a resounding success, posting a .438/.565/.688 slash line, including his first career home run. It also didn't take long for Frelick to elevate into the Brewers' clean-up spot in the batting order. While regression is given, Frelick has all the tools to continue his breakout and establish himself as a fantasy asset for years to come.

Per MLB Pipeline, Frelick is the second-ranked prospect in the Brewers' farm system and the No. 17 prospect in all of baseball, so expectations are high. He possesses a phenomenal 70-grade hit tool, resulting in a minuscule 11.7% strikeout rate across 197 career games, which will enable him to hit for average. Frelick also showcased 70-grade running and above-average base-stealing abilities, further cementing his fantasy value ceiling.
