Josh Reddick (OF, OAK) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140

CURRENT ADP: 207

ANALYSIS: Over the last four seasons, Josh Reddick is 24th among all outfielders in home runs-- ahead of Matt Holliday, Shin-Soo Choo and Alex Gordon. Back in 2012, he hit 32 homers, stole 11 bases, and totaled 170 R+RBI. Last season, he went 20/10 with 144 R+RBI. Of course, the intervening years were injury-plagued and not very good, but Reddick obviously has the talent to be a fantasy asset.

What's interesting is that his strikeout rate has steadily decreased over that four-year span. In 2012, Reddick whiffed on 22.4% of his trips to the plate. Last season, exactly half that. He quit swinging so much, particularly early in the count and at pitches low and away. Assuming health -- admittedly a tricky thing with him -- Reddick offers pop and speed in the back half of the draft.
