Cleveland Indians designated hitter Franmil Reyes 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 125
CURRENT ADP: ~147 overall
ANALYSIS: While Franmil Reyes AKA Franimal did not technically break out in the shortened 2020 season, he did find some success as he slashed .275/.344/.450 with nine HR, 35 RBI, and 27 R across 211 AB. The power with Franmil is very real as he smacked 37 HR in 2019 and has very strong power metrics, which is precisely why he should be highly considered heading into 2021.

In 2020, he posted a solid exit velocity of 92.4 mph, which ranked him in the top nine percent of the league. He also posted a hard-hit rate of 44.9%, which placed him in the 79th percentile of the league. One other power metric where Reyes performed well was with his barrel rate (12.9%), where he ranked in the top 16% of the league.
While Reyes does have some flaws in his game, including a career strikeout rate of 28.4%, he will provide fantasy players with a plethora of power without sacrificing too much in the way of average as he is also a career .263 hitter. With a full season ahead of him in 2021, 40 bombs are definitely within range.
