Ryan McMahon (1B/2B/3B, COL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~160

CURRENT ADP: ~176 overall

ANALYSIS: Ryan McMahon finished the 2019 season with a .250/.329/.450 slash line, adding 24 homers, 83 RBI, 70 runs scored and five steals over 539 at-bats. He set the franchise record for homers by a primary second baseman. The Rockies' 25-year-old slugger was a second-half monster, bashing 17 of his bombs following the All-Star break.

McMahon certainly impressed at the plate in his first year with regular playing time, sporting a 47.7% hard-hit rate (28th in MLB), 27% HR/FB rate, .342 wOBA, .200 ISO, and a 10.4% walk rate. On the negative side, he ranked very low with a 9% barrels per batted ball event rate and his 29.7% strikeout rate is a bit alarming.

He projects to serve as the team's primary second baseman again this season, though he can play (and is eligible in some leagues at) first base and third base as well. With the universal DH, Garrett Hampson no longer looms as a threat to steal some playing time, so McMahon should see consistent at-bats in the Rockies' lineup. He is currently being drafted at an ADP of 1765, but his power profile combined with playing half his games in the #1 park for run (and home run) production are reasons to target him a few rounds earlier.
