Michael Busch is a fantasy baseball draft sleeper at 3B, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Busch as an undervalued 3B in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 286
CURRENT ADP: ~372 overall
ANALYSIS: Busch has slugged two homers and stolen two bases so far this Spring as he makes his case for a starting spot in the Cubs' lineup.
Busch could be another nice sleeper pick in drafts as he settles in at 1st base for his new team. The former first-rounder mashed to the tune of .323/.431/.618 with a 1.049 OPS and 27 home runs in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League in 2023, but he only had two of his 27 homers against lefties, making him potentially vulnerable to a platoon role in Chicago.
He made only 72 plate appearances in 27 games last season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and mainly played third base. He went 12-for-72 (.167) with two home runs, seven RBI, and 27 strikeouts.
While he should get a full season in with Chicago, he does bring some risk. Nick Mariano does have him projected for a .244 batting average with 57 RBI, 56 runs, and 16 home runs this upcoming season. The young player can be a great bench addition if he can hit consistently and isn't a defensive liability.
