Cody Bellinger (1B, LAD) - 2017 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers & Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~400

CURRENT ADP: 461

ANALYSIS: A former fourth-round pick in the 2013 draft, Cody Bellinger has now become a top-10 prospect in MLB. The 21-year-old hit 29 HR with eight steals across three levels of the minor leagues in 2016, after demolishing High-A ball (30 HR, 10 SB) the previous season. He has only played three games at the Triple-A level, but in those three game he jacked three bombs.

The 6-foot-4 lefty is currently blocked by the great Adrian Gonzalez at first base, but the veteran is currently nursing elbow inflammation. Bellinger will also be seeing playing time at all three outfield spots this Spring Training. The Dodgers’ outfield has been a carousel for years now, so there is a real possibility Bellinger joins his big league teammates early this year and forces the Dodgers to keep him there. He will continue to strike out at above a 20 percent rate, but he has also historically been a double-digit walk rate guy. Once the opportunity presents itself, Bellinger should break out in 2017.
