Second base is a position that is short of players who can produce with the wood, the best ones go quickly in the draft and even some of them are not even a natural second baseman like Mookie Betts. Within the top 100 we also find the second baseman and now outfielder of the Marlins, Jazz Chisholm Jr who only be a pick from the third to the fifth round at most, accompanies him Marcus Semien, Ozzie Albies, Tommy Edman, Andrés Giménez and José Altuve If he is healthy, the player who has been injured in the World Baseball Classic, his ADP has dropped a lot.
Here are five sleepers that can help you fill the gap in position in case you weren’t able to get some of the aforementioned. Some of them are a bet in its entirety, while others are more established.
Ha Seong-Kim
The Korean belonging to the San Diego Padres, comes from a second season where he clearly improved his rookie season in the big leagues. He comes from stealing 12 bases, hit 11 home runshit for an average of .251 and a OPS+ of 107above the major league average, which is 100. They are wRC+ was 105 comparing with the poor 73 he had in his first season, if your league has defensive statistics the Korean player will add a lot, it is one of the best defensive players in the infield today.
Michael Massey
The Kansas City Royals have been clearing the infield, the transfer of Adalberto Mondesí to the Boston Red Sox opened space for a Massey who just made his debut last year in the big leagues. In 194 plate appearances, hit four home runs and stole three bases. To this we add that in the leagues fewer have managed to connect more than 20 home runs and steal more than 10 bases. in 52 games towed 17hit .243 and hit nine doubles.
Marte Kettle
He’s the biggest name on the list, sitting below pick 185 in fantasy and has the ability to be a top 100 player in fantasy as long as he stays healthy. He is a player who has had seasons where he has been drafted to the star game (2019) in addition to being in the conversation for the MVP of that season and finishing fourthin said season he connected 32 home runs and towed 92 runsat the same time .329 average. His last season was one of the worst of his career and this has penalized her, but without a doubt it is worth taking the risk with the Dominican player because of how far he is in the draft.
Thairo Estrada
The Venezuelan is close to the ADP of Ketel Marte, he has never shown to be a player of the same caliber as the Dominican, however, he comes from a good season with the San Francisco Giants where he accumulated 14 home runs, 21 stolen basesan average of .260 with a .722 OPS, his best season in MLB, without a doubt. The player can fall like a glove if you need a utility, he played 102 games in the second, 37 at shortstop, 19 in the outfield.
Jean Segura
The veteran Dominican infielder has always struggled with injuries over the years, entering his 11th season in the big tent and in a new team like the Marlins, Segura ranks outside the top 200, but with the new rules of this season and the ability he still has in his legs to steal bases, we can see the veteran repeat the 12 stolen bases from last season or even be able to achieve more. To this we add the ability of the native of San Juan de la Maguana to make contact, we find ourselves with a player capable of steal 10-15 bases and hit above .280 average.
