BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 109
CURRENT ADP: ~122
ANALYSIS: Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is coming off of a productive rookie season at the dish. A 2023 All-Star, Jung hit .266 with 23 home runs, 75 runs, 70 RBI, and a .782 OPS across 122 games. While not all was rosy with his subpar 5.8% BB% and elevated 29.3% K% in mind, a 110 wRC+ is a fine season for any big-league first-timer. It's worth noting that his counting stats were hindered by a broken thumb that required surgery and cost him almost six weeks of action late in the season.
Additionally, the gauntlet of a 162-game major league season appeared to get to the soon-to-be 26-year-old, who hit .280 with a .835 OPS and .356 wOBA in the first half before regressing to a .229 average alongside a .638 OPS and .277 wOBA following the All-Star break.
Jung ranked in the 77th percentile or better in xSLG, average exit velocity, barrel rate, hard-hit rate, and sweet-spot rate as a rookie. With an ADP of 103.19 as the 11th third baseman off the board, Jung is a solid investment on the back of big-time power and superior counting stats with full health and a strong Rangers supporting cast in 2024. Update: Jung is dealing with a left calf strain but is expected to return for Opening Day.
