Triston Casas is a first base fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Casas as an undervalued 1B in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 68
CURRENT ADP: ~95
ANALYSIS: Triston Casas is a popular breakout candidate for good reason and is currently selected in the top 100 picks of fantasy drafts. Casas produced as a rookie last season with 24 HRs, 66 runs, and 65 RBI while slashing .263/.367/.490 in 132 games. Bad BABIP luck in 2022 (.208) affected the perception of Casas during his initial call-up as it resulted in a sub-.200 AVG.
Casas has some platoon risk as he has struggled to hit for average against lefties, but his power plays no matter who is pitching and his walk rate jumps immensely as he takes a more patient approach. Given that Casas' wRC+ has remained above 110 (10% better than the league average) against both righties and lefties throughout 597 career PA, we can assume he is an everyday player moving forward.
The former first-round pick is due for a monster 2024 season as he is slated to hit in the middle of a much more potent lineup than 2023. Boston's offense was quite pedestrian last season as it posted a 99 wRC+ and a team OBP ranking 13th. This season, with Casas, Jarren Duran, and Masataka Yoshida in Year 2, the additions of Tyler O'Neill and Ceddanne Rafaela, and Trevor Story another season removed from Tommy John, we could see a jump back into the MLB's top five.
What is one of Triston Casas’ goals moving forward?
He wants a .300/.400/.500 slash line.
Also mentioned he wants to stick to his motto of getting on base and grinding out at-bats.
