George Lombard Jr. a Must-Stash Prospect in Deeper Leagues?
New York Yankees shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr. continues to deliver stolen bases and impressive contact results, making him a potential stash candidate in deeper fantasy baseball leagues. Between Double-A and Triple-A this year, he's slashing .245/.381/.399 with six homers, 22 RBI, 11 steals, a 17.1% walk rate, and a 22.2% strikeout rate. Although that strikeout rate is a little higher than we'd like to see from someone with just six homers, we're encouraged that his home run total could increase going forward. The quality of contact has been solid, as he owns an average exit velocity of 91.9 mph (87th percentile) in Triple-A. He's also walking more than 93% of his peers, and his plate discipline has been fair with a 22.6% chase rate. All in all, the stolen bases, walks, and potential for more homers puts Lombard on the radar as an intriguing stash in deeper fantasy baseball leagues.
