Edwin Encarnacion (1B/DH, CHW) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~150s

CURRENT ADP: ~170 overall

ANALYSIS: Edwin Encarnacion continued to defy Father Time during the 2019 season. While his .244 batting average and 21.2% K-rate were mediocre, the 37-year-old managed to blast 34 home runs and pick up 86 RBI in just 418 at-bats split between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees. Encarnacion has not had a campaign with less than 32 HRs and 86 RBI since the 2011 season, and more of the same is the expectation for the Dominican slugger heading into 2020.

Encarnacion joined the White Sox talented young core in the offseason and will see ample opportunity to produce in the middle of the lineup. Over the past five seasons, his exit velocity (90 MPH), barrel percentage (11.5%), and hard-hit percentage (42.1%) have stayed remarkably consistent, suggesting that his powerful stroke shows no signs of decay. All things considered, as long as Encarnacion can avoid injury, he should be able to breeze past his current NFBC ADP of 170. Expect a healthy Encarnacion to finish among the top-15 fantasy first baseman by season's end.
