Fantasy Baseball Sleepers – Hitters

Fantasy baseball season is quickly approaching. Industry leagues are just starting or have begun, and if you are reading this, you are far ahead of your competition for your draft next month. Everyone knows the obvious hitters players for the upcoming season. However, just we all know that fantasy baseball leagues are won in baseball in the mid to late rounds. Identifying that sleeper that could be a 15th-round pick this year but a Round 5 pick next year could be a league winner for you. Here are some early sleeper hitters who could break out in this upcoming 2024 fantasy baseball season. Let’s get right to it.

Gleyber Torres, 2B, New York Yankees

A second baseman that is falling way down the boards, and who is also on a contract year, is Gleyber Torres. Torres is batting in the middle of a very good New York Yankees lineup. In the 2023 season, he played in 158 games and batted .273 hitting 25 home runs, 68 RBIs, and 13 stolen bases. Torres is assured of playing time and can contribute to power.

Furthermore, Gleyber is one of those targets where you can pass on the top tier of 2B or middle infield. Not to mention, be completely comfortable starting Gleyber in your 2B position. Additionally, he now has Juan Soto batting in the lineup and a healthy Aaron Judge. Torres will have many opportunities at RBIs depending on where he bats in the lineup.

Justin Turner, DH, Free Agent

As of this writing, Justin Turner remains a free agent. In 2023 he played 146 games, hitting 23 home runs, 96 RBIs, batted .276, and even stole four bags. Turner is one of the most consistent players when it comes to batting average, and right now is going well beyond the 200 ADP mark. When he signs that’ll likely go up depending on the landing spot, but right now Turner is a great pick late in drafts and likely will see a ton of playing time.

Vinnie Pasquantino, 1B, Kansas City Royals

A breakout last season I was quite high on was Vinnie Pasquantino of the Kansas City Royals. In 61 games before tearing his labrum, Pasquantino hit nine home runs and batted in 26 RBIs. He was batting .247 at the time. Additionally, his power is real and with a healthy full season, he could hit 20-30 home runs. In 2022 he played in 72 games hit 10 home runs and batted in 26 RBIs. In the end, he just needs to put together a full season and he could be a top-10 first baseman.

Trevor Story, SS, Boston Red Sox

After missing most of last season, Trevor Story came back towards the end of the season and played in 43 games. He only hit three home runs and batted .203. He did steal 10 bases though. Story will give you a big boost in stolen bases, but could bring your batting average down. The power could still be there and he will be a volume play. Story put up career-worst numbers, but also coming off elbow surgery could be a reason behind this. If you need speed in the later rounds, Story isn’t a bad option at all.

Parker Meadows, OF, Detroit Tigers

Technically still a prospect, Parker Meadows could be primed for a breakout season. To graduate from prospect status, one needs 130 at bats. Meadows had 125 at bats last season. Meadows hit .240 with three home runs and 13 RBIs. He stole eight bases to add. Meadows has the upside of a 20-20 player. Meadows is going very late in drafts and is a very good flier for those who need speed late and potential for 20-20.

Anthony Rizzo, 1B, New York Yankees

After Anthony Rizzo suffered a concussion last year, it was clear he was not the same player prior to the concussion. In total, he played 99 games last season and hit 12 home runs and 41 RBIs. He batted .244 as well. It took several months before the Yankees put Rizzo on the IL, and his playing showed he was still suffering from the effects.

At this point, Rizzo seems to be 100% healthy and is the everyday first baseman for the New York Yankees. His ADP is very low and is a great pick towards the end of your drafts. Keep in mind, 2022 was the season where Rizzo hit 32 home runs. While he could be a drain on your average, he does have 30+ home run upside at the end of drafts.

Jake Burger, 3B, Miami Marlins

Last season, third base felt like it was very thin. This season it is a deep position especially when you have players such as Jake Burger down the rankings board. Burger hit 34 home runs last season and 80 RBIs. Notably, he did bat .250, but the power surge is something that had everyone scrambling to add Burger off the waiver wire. He was traded from the White Sox to the Marlins last season and was still able to add to his home run total. Burger only played in 141 games last season. Overall, a 40+ home run season is the upside you have when you draft Burger.
