Jonah Heim is a catcher fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Heim as an undervalued catcher in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 187
CURRENT ADP: ~197
ANALYSIS: Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is coming off a strong 2023 campaign that saw him win a Gold Glove and make his first All-Star appearance. Heim also put together a solid season at the plate, totaling 118 hits, 18 HRs, 95 RBI, and 28 doubles behind a .258 average.
Heim really exceeded expectations last year and broke out in his fourth season. He set career highs in almost every category while becoming a consistent bat in the Rangers lineup. In a top-five offense in baseball, the 28-year-old should continue to establish himself as a late-round catcher option in fantasy drafts.
It was surprising to see where Heim was going in drafts this offseason, especially after such a strong year. His 184.6 ADP is the 12th best among all catchers, and he's going even later (218) in CBS drafts. Still, he's a player who will put up solid homers, doubles, and RBI numbers while hitting for a solid average.

His numbers from the 2023 season also shouldn't change much this year. Last season, Heim was hitting anywhere from fifth to seventh in the Rangers lineup and drove in 95 runs (15 more than any other catcher in baseball). Hitting behind Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, and Adolis Garcia should certainly help in that category. With the lineup expected to stay the same this season, the switch-hitting catcher should have no problem driving in over 75 runs.
