Nathaniel Lowe is a fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Lowe as an undervalued 1B in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 175
CURRENT ADP: ~194 overall
ANALYSIS: It's quite shocking to see where Lowe is currently going in drafts, and you can often select him in the final two rounds. His ADP currently sits at 175, which is too low for a player who has been a consistent offensive piece for one of the top offenses in baseball. Lowe hits behind elite offensive players in Marcus Semien and Corey Seager and has been a consistent fantasy option over the past three years.
Lowe might be coming off a down year in 2023, as he hit .262 with 17 HRs, 82 RBI, and 38 doubles, but those are certainly solid numbers for a player going in the 19th round of fantasy baseball drafts. The Rangers first baseman also walked 93 times last season, or 12.8% of the time, which landed him in the 90th percentile in the entire league.

There's a lot to like about Lowe in fantasy this year. He hits third in an offense that averaged the third-most runs per game in 2023 (5.46), and he will have plenty of chances to drive in runs with Marcus Semien and Seager hitting in front of him. His 82 RBI last year were a career-high, and that number should only increase in 2024. Lowe is also just one year removed from a 27-home run season, so expect him to hit somewhere between 22-25 HRs and provide value in the runs and RBI categories, too.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A. While this was very cute and should improve the vibes a little bit in Washington, I don't think Bruce the Bat Dog will help […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
