The public will knock him down from the second round as they should, but cut his steals down to 10 and he’s still projectable as a No. More worrying is his 54th% Sprint Speed, backed up with just three SBs in those 64 games, with five caught stealings. It’s not what drives him, and the difference could be symptom just as much as cause. His HH rate fell off the table from 37% to 27%, but then Albies has never been a HH beast with a lifetime 32% (the MLB average the past three years is 38%). A lackluster 64 games, but he was also blah to start 2021 and came around just fine. Ozzie Albies, ATL - Can’t say he’s injury-prone with three full seasons under his belt. I see nothing that makes any 2B a better bet for 2023, and even if that’s wrong he’s got a nice floor. I’m pretty sure that once one 2B goes, I will take Jazz with my next pick. I make no predictions but I think we should consider multiple 50-SB seasons in 2023 a realistic possibility, at least in the back of our minds.Ĭhisholm is currently the third second baseman off the board with an ADP of 45, up from fourth with an ADP of 52 in early drafts. Also, he loves to steal bases and must be considered one of those most capable of a season with 50+ SBs. While it must be noted, it is also true that such hitters, once established, usually enjoy long stretches of on-fire hitting, and lefty hitters with 46.7% HH rates are prime candidates, especially when they are blazing fast extreme pull hitters who can no longer be shifted. Normally I would warn that there is BA risk in any 41% FB hitter with 27% Ks. That’s exactly what Chisholm needed, and his already-high HH rate rose again to 46.7%. Jazz Chisholm, MIA - Everything going his way, especially fewer O-zone swings and more in-zone swings. As for his power and BA, Semien hit 12 balls for outs between 380-399 feet, tied for the most in the majors with José Abreu, plus he made one out on a 400-foot fly ball. The 25 SBs are not bankable but with the way he’s running, don’t be surprised. An unexpected path to earning his roto pay last year, but earn it he did. Marcus Semien, TEX - Also 17 games at shortstop. PFA means Possible Free Agent, or not worth a precious reserve slot because they are further from contributing for various reasons - but no doubt some will have 2023 impact.įeel free to comment, and welcome to 2023. The designations Reserve A and Reserve B are players I consider worth a shot, more or less, but not a dollar, usually because they won’t be starting in the majors.
