Parker Meadows is an outfield fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Meadows as an undervalued OF in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 250
CURRENT ADP: ~322 overall
ANALYSIS: Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows is a power-speed threat worth clicking near pick 300. His 3 HR/8 SB in 37 games as a rookie yields a ~12/30 seasonal pace, but don’t overlook the minors. He provided a 20 HR/17 SB/.275 AVG line over 127 games in ‘22 and then 19/19/.256 in 113 games before his promotion last year.
Meadows had a walk rate above 10% with both of those, something seen in his small-sample MLB line as well. More walks mean more SB opps, which is how he went 8-for-9 on attempts in just 145 PAs. Since 2022, Meadows has been a combined 44-for-49 (~90% success rate) across three levels of play. Comerica isn’t a hitting paradise, but it’s no longer a desert.
Even if his average hangs around .240 then, that’s not far from the EDV mark. I’m projecting about 35 HR+SB and 120 R+RBI, which surpasses the respective demands of 24 and 94. Perhaps the power tool needs a full MLB season to marinate before a 2025 bloom, but his speed has been ready to play up for a while. Meadows has a ton of upside and is worth taking after picks 250 in upcoming fantasy baseball drafts.
Parker Meadows ADP is gonna trend upward the rest of spring. Had two hits including a HR with a 103.5 MPH EV. Also clocked a 30 ft/sec sprint speed on his single according to @beckjason which is elite!
Had a quiet 22 HR/27 SB between AAA/MLB last season
