Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Ascends To Top Of 1B Ranks
3 years agoToronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. broke out in 2021 and finished second in American League MVP voting by tying for the league lead in home runs (48). He also ranked sixth in batting average (.311), sixth in RBI (111), third in hits (188), third in on-base percentage (.401) and second in OPS (1.002). Not only is he at the top of the first base rankings in fantasy in 2022, but he's a top-five overall pick in the first round of drafts. Guerrero is only 22 years old and ranked in the 97th percentile or higher in xBA, xSLG, average exit velocity and hard-hit rate last year. In an offense that is returning their best bats, Guerrero should have another very strong season. He's just getting started.
