Darick Hall is a 2023 fantasy baseball draft sleeper at UT, and is an ADP draft value. Target Hall as an undervalued UT in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 370
CURRENT ADP: ~490 overall
ANALYSIS: In 142 plate appearances in the Majors last year, Hall hit nine homers and pulled off an elite 11.3% Brl/PA (17.4% Brl%). Sure, the strikeout rate was high (31%) and the walk rate was infinitesimal (3.5%), but you can deal with that when you're hitting barrels at such a high rate. Chances are he would not have kept up a barrel rate nearly that high had he stayed in the Majors all year, but needless to say - the guy has legit pop.
Bryce Harper being on the shelf for at least two months to begin the year and Rhys Hoskins unfortunately suffering a torn ACL opens up plenty of PAs at the DH spot, and it seems to be Hall's job to lose at this point. He has pounded five homers in 45 PAs while limiting strikeouts to 18%. A healthy amount of those PAs were not against Major League pitching, so it's still likely that he'll go for a high strikeout rate again come April, but he is a guy that can be near the league leaders in homers while he's in the lineup, and that's someone worth starting on your fantasy team - especially if your team sets up nicely in batting average but comes up a bit short in power.
