Anthony Santander (OF, BAL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

fantasy baseball rankings draft sleepers MLB injury news

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~ 300

CURRENT ADP: ~340 overall

ANALYSIS: Last year, Anthony Santander received his first extended stint with the Orioles, and he did not disappoint. In 93 games, his stat line read .261-20-46-59-1. If we combine his 48 games in Triple-A, Santander had a really nice season with 25 home runs, 76 runs, and 87 RBI. The switch-hitting outfielder maintained a solid 36.2% hard-hit rate with an 8.5% deserved barrels rate and a .387 xwOBAcon in his first year.

Some may point to the ball as having helped Santander, but it is not the end-all-be-all as he made some very nice gains at the plate in 2019. He saw his contact rates rise from his previous stint in the bigs and also saw his whiff rate drop. The increase in contact can help Santander take the next step. In 2019, he had a groundball rate of 40.3% and a flyball rate of 27.2%; even with all those groundballs, he was able to hit 20 home runs and that was due to a 21% HR/oFB. When he elevates the ball, he hits it with authority. The continued increase in contact with more fly balls could lead to a massive home run jump.

ATC projections have Santander hitting .254 with 23 home runs over 131 games. He will be playing nearly every day for the Orioles while hitting in a nice spot in the batting order. He will be a really nice source of power with even more upside after pick 300 in drafts.
