Leody Taveras (OF, TEX) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 180

CURRENT ADP: ~199 overall

ANALYSIS: Leody Tavares is a less-heralded prospect who could start the season up in the big leagues. The 22-year-old switch hitter had a brief stint with the Rangers in 2020, hitting .227 with four HR in just 33 games. While the power is nice, it's the speed that should be his calling card.

After stealing at least 20 bases in three straight minor league seasons, Tavares seems like a good bet for 20-25 steals in a full MLB season. His speed has always led to above-average BABIP numbers, which has historically helped prop up his batting average since he's usually been one of the younger players at any level and needs time to adjust to the improvement in arms.

While I expect Taveras to eventually settle as a .270-ish hitter, I wouldn't expect more than a .250 average from him right away, but he's a plus defender in center field, which will likely keep him in the lineup for the Rangers and give him a strong chance of racking up Runs and Stolen Bases throughout the season. These are the types of picks  that go unnoticed but can do wonders for your team.
