Sal Frelick 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Promising Combination Of Contact And Speed
9 months agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder and top prospect Sal Frelick played in 57 MLB games last season. He slashed .246/.341/.351 with 41 hits, 28 walks, and seven stolen bases across 233 plate appearances. Throughout the minors, Frelick was known for his contact-oriented approach, stellar plate discipline, and high BABIP. His skills translated well to the majors, but there is room to grow. For someone whose BABIP typically exceeds .300, it was just .266 in Triple-A and .286 in MLB last year. This suggests that his batted-ball luck could have been more fruitful in 2023. Considering his approach, there is a solid chance of his BABIP and batting average increasing in 2024. At 24 years old, he is expected to get everyday playing time for the Brewers. Milwaukee has tried Frelick out at the hot corner and second base during spring training. He could add one of these infield spots to his position eligibility, increasing his fantasy value. Right now, his NFBC ADP is around 280. ATC projections have him hitting .266/.336/.384 with 131 hits, 49 walks, eight home runs, and 17 stolen bases, making him a solid pick at his current ADP.
