4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich is excited to get a fresh start in 2021 after struggling for most of the pandemic-shortened campaign. Fantasy managers that used a top-five pick were let down as Yelich limped to a .205 batting average and a .430 slugging percentage, a far cry from his league-leading .671 mark in 2019. Yelich struck out far too often, posting an eye-popping 30.8 percent strikeout rate. Given Yelich's status among the fantasy elite, a bounce back to his 21.2 percent career strikeout rate should be expected. Yelich makes elite contact and is just one season removed from stealing 30 bases, he's a solid pick at the back of the first round of fantasy drafts.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
