Sal Frelick is an outfield fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Frelick as an undervalued OF in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 260
CURRENT ADP: ~294 overall
ANALYSIS: Sal Frelick made his major league debut last July and remained on the major league roster throughout the entire second half and lived up to his prospect pedigree.
Frelick showcased his excellent contact and on-base skills in his rookie season. The 23-year-old posted a .246 AVG, .341 OBP, and .351 SLG.
The Brewer will be drafted as a great source of on-base/average depending on your league scoring and will also be beneficial in points leagues as he rarely strikes out. His on-base percentage was right in line with Steven Kwan, a player with very similar skill sets.
The outfielder's great 14.6% whiff rate, 16.6% K rate, and 12.6% walk rate would have placed him well above league average if he met the qualification requirements.
I chose to include this outfielder on the list not only because of his ability to get on base consistently but also because of his potential for positional flexibility. During spring training, Frelick has been receiving several opportunities to man the hot corner. Having third-base eligibility is an added bonus, especially in deeper formats or NL-only leagues.
Frelick is well worth the investment in deeper points leagues or leagues that value on-base skills, as he has the skills to be one of the best in that category. Also, taking reps at third base further provides him with lineup security, showing that the Brewers value his defensive skills and versatility.
The more playing time available for a highly respected prospect, the easier it is for them to reach their potential. Frelick could become one of the most reliable on-base players in the National League in 2024.
Sal Frelick's first career home run is a game-tying blast! What a start to his career! pic.twitter.com/Jn5RuLDv4A
