BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 215
CURRENT ADP: ~236 overall
ANALYSIS: Singer is a pitcher who should be getting more hype based on how he finished last season. The former first-round pick went 3-1 with a 1.50 ERA, .114 batting average against, and had 25 strikeouts in 24 innings across his last four starts. This is a high-end pitching prospect that scratched the surface of his potential last September. Now with a "full" season under his belt Singer appears ready to ascend to the top of the Kansas City rotation and reward fantasy managers that use a late-round pick on the 24-year-old.

Read More!Singer's calling card is an elite sinker that helped him finish fourth in the Majors with a 51.9 percent ground ball rate last year. His sinker posted a run value that ranked tied for 13th among 164 players that threw sinkers last year, according to BaseballSavant. He pairs it with a quality slider that generated a 32.8 percent whiff rate. If he could get his changeup to the level of his other two offerings then look out, Singer has ace-upside. Even without a third pitch, however, Singer is a bargain at his current ADP. He won't post elite strikeout totals, but Singer reminds me of a young Kyle Hendricks who has been a top-100 pick in fantasy for quite some time. Singer has high start-to-start upside and is available at the very end of most standard-size drafts.
