BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Nolan Jones' breakout season has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise bleak Colorado Rockies campaign. Through 66 games, he boasts a .275/.355/.500 slash line with 12 home runs, seven stolen bases, and a 116 wRC+. Jones has etched out an everyday playing spot in the Rockies' lineup, including against southpaws more often than not.
Nolan Jones is seriously one of the most underrated players in baseball this season!

Though Coors Field notoriously boosts offensive statistics, Jones' underlying numbers support his continued success. He carries an outstanding .500 xSLG, 15.6% barrel rate, 91.8 mph average exit velocity, 45.2% hard-hit rate, and .354 xwOBA. He strikes out at a gratuitous 34.1% rate but supplements that well with a strong 10.6% walk rate.
