Fantasy Baseball: Top players to target across each hitting category
Check out the top players to target across each of the traditional 5x5 hitting categories.
If you're Fantasy baseball team needs a jolt to make a run at the title, you need to see what MLB Fantasy expert Aaron Sauceda has to say.
Sauceda is a strategic consultant who puts his skills in financial modeling to use in analyzing Fantasy sports. He has written for Foul-Territory.com and his own baseball blog, identifying inefficiencies in the Fantasy baseball market. If there's anybody who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.
Now, he's done an in-depth analysis of the top players to target across each of the traditional 5x5 hitting categories.
One we'll give away: Sauceda has identified Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig as a hitter to target if your team needs home run help.
"Puig presents a unique power/speed skillset, sitting in the top 20% by both sprint speed and xSLG — illustrated by his projection as a top 25 HR asset and top 30 stolen base asset moving forward," Sauceda said. "He's also one of an elite group of 16 players projected as a positive-earner across each of the 5x5 categories. Even better, he had the 2nd lowest midseason ADP of that group and largest gap between midseason ADP and his ROS projection — THE BAT values him close to a top 20 hitter while the market saw him as a top 65 hitter."
Sauceda has also identified which hitters you should target if your team needs contributors in a specific category, including batting average, RBIs, runs scored and more. Anyone who adds these players could hit it BIG.
