BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Play elite defense, and earn at-bats. That's the simple path to playing time for 23-year-old prospect Ceddanne Rafaela. Normally, fantasy players could care less about a player's glove, but in Rafaela's case, his elite defense at three premium positions (2B, SS, CF) should keep him in the lineup every day. If he's getting regular playing time, he should be an asset in category leagues because Rafaela can flat-out fly.

He's already been measured by Statcast with a 28.7 mph sprint speed, good for 85th percentile in baseball. Better than his speed, is his ability to swipe bags.
