Baller Move: Add In All Leagues
Owned In: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues
Analysis: Steven Souza Jr is a difficult player to analyze in a straightforward manner. His strikeouts rates were quite high last year, but this year the number has spiked even higher. Combined with a lower BB%, it would seem like he would be hitting worse than last year, when he slashed .225/.318/.399. The truth however, is that his ISO and BABIP are up significantly. His HR total is also already approaching half of what it was last year and he’s done it in a quarter of the games he played in 2015. It should be apparent by now that this is the type of player Souza will be. He’ll strike out considerably, but his power and early numbers seem to indicate he’ll be somewhere in the 20s in terms of home runs this season. Prospective owners are probably looking at one of the best times to add Souza, as he’s still available in over half of Fleaflicker leagues and has picked up six hits in the past four games heading into Monday.
