Shocking, right? Until I glanced over it on his profile, I never would have believed that Bichette chased so many pitches. That 19.9% strikeout rate is interesting, though, considering Bichette finished with the fourth-highest O-Swing in all of baseball, right behind Javier Báez, at a whopping 42.5%.

In his first full season in the big leagues, Bichette maintained fairly decent plate discipline, with an excellent 19.9% strikeout rate and a slightly below-average walk rate of 5.8%. Is it possible that a 24-year-old prodigy who has shown the ability to combine his physical abilities with strong pitch recognition has a second gear that takes him well over 30 home runs and 25 or more stolen bases? Yes, and that’s really cool.īichette was never considered a 40 home run masher as a prospect-most sites I’ve seen gave him between a 50 and a 60 in terms of power-but he has always been well regarded for his hit tool and ability to make contact. Bo Bichette ( Toronto Blue Jays) – Does Bichette need another gear in terms of power or speed to deserve a spot in this top tier? No. Honestly, though, the best indicator of the fantasy community’s opinion of Turner is that drafting him first overall isn’t even all that controversial anymore. Furthermore, he’s not an awful bet to finish in the top five in all five roto categories amongst second basemen-RBI is the toughest to accomplish for a leadoff hitter like Turner, but the NL DH should help considerably.

There’s a real shot at a 30-30 season (stolen base potential ages poorly, so 40 is probably out of reach), plus he has a shot to lead the NL in both batting average and runs scored. Turner didn’t just clear the 20-home run hurdle for the first time in his career, he darn near got to 30 (28 in 148 games). Joking aside, it’s worth noting that the power surge we saw in 2020 continued in 2021. I also want to make sure I mention that Trea Turner steals bases, as it’s a big part of his fantasy appeal. He’s the consensus top second baseman and shortstop in our game due to his speed, his contact ability, his spot near the top of the Dodgers’ lineup, and his speed. Trea Turner ( Washington Nationals) – This ranking is the least surprising thing I’ll do all day (now that Fernando Tatis Jr.will be out three weeks with a broken wrist).

These rankings are for 10- and 12-team head-to-head category leagues with standard scoring and a starting lineup consisting of 1 C, 1 1B, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 SS, 3 OF, 2 UTIL, and a shallow bench, and were created by Scott Chu with input from Nick Pollack.A couple of things to note before reading:
