Masyn Winn 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Rare Combination Of Power And Speed
9 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn is expected to crack the Cardinals' Opening Day roster. He was called to the majors in mid-August but struggled to adjust to big-league pitching. Winn slashed .172/.230/.238 with two doubles, two home runs, and two stolen bases across 137 plate appearances in 2023. Some of his struggles can be attributed to bad luck (he had just a .196 BABIP). Moving forward, Winn should not be written off for what he did in just 37 MLB games. He slashed .272/.351/.437 with 70 doubles, 35 home runs, and 92 stolen bases over 322 minor-league games. Right now, his NFBC ADP is 448. ATC projections expect him to slash .245/.301/.372 with 20 2Bs, 10 HRs, 13 SBs. At that rate, Winn would not be valuable in fantasy leagues outside NL-Only or deep-league formats. However, he certainly has the talent to exceed expectations in 2024, making him a late-round flier at best in upcoming drafts.
