2 years agoColorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon has been relevant in fantasy baseball for the past few seasons. His moderate yet consistent play continued this season when the 28-year-old hit .246, slugged 20 homers, stole seven bases, and collected 134 RBI plus runs. McMahon played 153 games in 2022, a season after appearing in 151, and will get everyday at-bats again in 2023, especially with his superb defense. His high strikeout rates, including a 26.5% rate in 2022, have affected his batting averages, but he's on the right track, posting his lowest swinging strike rate since 2017. McMahon's career 90.9 MPH average exit velocity and minuscule 3.4% pop-up rate mean he's capable of maintaining a .250 batting average, especially playing at Coors Field. He offers enough power to keep fantasy managers happy, averaging almost 25 home runs per 162 games over the past four years with a 9.1% barrel rate. McMahon isn't the quickest (34th-percentile sprint speed in 2022), but he can still provide six or seven steals, as his past two campaigns have proven. Despite being subpar on paper, the Rockies lineup will score a decent amount of runs considering the thin air of Colorado, and the former second-rounder will be one of their biggest run producers. McMahon is going around pick 219, a profitable price for his skillset.--Spencer Seguin
