Luis Rengifo is a shortstop fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Rengifo as an undervalued SS in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 249
CURRENT ADP: ~269
ANALYSIS: A slow starter who picked it up later last year, Luis Rengifo’s versatility helped keep him in the lineup through early problems until he went ballistic following the All-Star break. The 26-year-old was hitting an empty .219 with a poor .255 BABIP and a middling 33% fly ball rate.
But then lightning struck (aka LAA hitting coaches helped him out) and Rengifo hit .318 with a .960 OPS and 40% fly ball rate in the second half. He cracked 11 HRs in those 49 games as a waiver-wire hero before a torn bicep tendon prematurely ended the party in early September.
He’s said to be ready for 2024 and qualifies for multiple positions no matter what platform you like. Don’t overlook him based on deceiving seasonal stats and his being a late bloomer. If he winds up losing PT due to the Aaron Hicks signing, then so be it. (I'm not concerned about his early health.)
