4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte stepped into an elite tier of contact during the 2020 campaign, finishing in the 99th percentile of strikeout rate (10.8%) and 98th percentile of whiff rate (14.1%). Unfortunately, that did not lend itself to another top-five MVP finish, as the .732 OPS that Marte produced was his lowest mark since 2016 with Seattle. To make things additionally worse for Marte’s fantasy outlook come 2021, he started just two games in the outfield. Depending on how sites account for that next year, Marte may have lost his positional flexibility, further capping his season-long appeal. While he's a solid fantasy cog, Marte should slide down most ranking projections heading into next year.--Jesse Borek
