New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is a 2021 fantasy baseball draft value. His ADP is undervalued, making him a potential draft bargain and late-round sleeper to target.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 230
CURRENT ADP: ~259 overall
ANALYSIS: Hicks is one of my favorite outfielders this year. I mean, the guy is currently projected to hit third for the Yankees, sandwiched between Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, yet he is going outside the first 15 rounds on average. And, that is even with his ADP climbing as of late. In early drafts, I would get him around the 20th round. Hicks is now two years removed from that 27 homer, 11 stolen base, 90 run season, but I will keep chasing it as long as the price is suppressed.

Where I especially like Hicks is in points leagues that reward points for walks and deduct for strikeouts, or in OBP Roto leagues. Last season Hicks walked more than he struck out and he has posted an OBP of .366 or higher in three of the past four seasons. Those are the formats I really go out of my way to target him, but either way, Hicks is a great way to get cheap exposure to the Yankees lineup.
