Yunior Severino - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis (Week 11)

Yunior Severino is a fantasy baseball prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know for Week 11 (2024). Read MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies, call-ups.

PROSPECT: Yunior Severino, 1B, Minnesota Twins

CURRENT LEVEL: Triple-A

2024 STATS: 48 G, .188 AVG., 9 HR, 29 RBI, 23 R, 1 SB, 34.1% K%, 12.0% BB%, .177 ISO, .296 wOBA, 68 wRC+, 26.5 HR/FB%

ANALYSIS: Sorry for giving you that statline without some sort of disclaimer ahead of time. Some of those numbers are ok, like the BB% and HR/FB%, but a lot of the other ones are downright scary. It's not necessarily all about Yunior Severino's 2024 numbers, though, it is about the body of work. Severino's career minor league batting average is .268, which isn't all that bad for a power hitter these days, with a .345 OBP and .810 OPS. The switch-hitter finished tied for the most home runs in the minor leagues last year with 35 long balls (24 at Double-A, 11 at Triple-A).

So why are we talking about a prospect that is striking out 34.1% of the time right now and hitting below the Mendoza Line? Well, that is because he has heated up at the plate recently, and if he continues at this pace there's a good chance we'll see him in Minneapolis in 2024. Over his last nine games, the 24-year-old is hitting .361 (13-for-36) with three home runs, 12 RBI, five runs scored, five walks, a .458 wOBA, and 171 wRC+. He's still striking out a lot, with 12 strikeouts over this nine-game stretch, but that doesn't matter all that much if you're hitting for average and driving in runs.

He's starting to feel it. Yunior Severino has now homered in back-to-back games. He is 10-31 in the first 10 games on the roadtrip with 3 home runs and 11 RBI. This solo home run was his 9th of the season. pic.twitter.com/HnL2En4msV

While Twins first baseman Carlos Santana has eight home runs, he's batting just .215, is 38 years old, and is only signed through the end of the season, so at some point the Twins might want to see what they have in Severino at the big league level. If he does get the call, he could be attractive to managers looking for some power, and he's eligible at 1B, 2B, and 3B in Yahoo leagues which would add to his appeal as a waiver wire addition. Interested managers should keep an eye on how the slugger performs over the next couple weeks.
