Yoan Moncada Has Been An On-Base Machine
3 years agoChicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada has been unstoppable when it comes to getting on base this year. Over his last fifteen games, Moncada has an OBP of .521 with 17 walks in 63 plate appearances. Fantasy managers may be frustrated that the switch-hitter has only come up with three homers on the season, but his expected slugging percentage of .481 suggests some positive regression is in the offing. Even if it takes a while for the power numbers to come around, his walk rate of 16.7 percent is in the 97th percentile in the major leagues, giving him a very safe floor in the meantime. Fantasy managers should be thrilled with Moncada's improved patience at the dish, and should either hold or look to buy. Even better days are ahead.
