James McCann (C, NYM) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 180

CURRENT ADP: ~190 overall

ANALYSIS: Despite being a career .249 hitter,  James McCann really came into his own at the plate once he left Detroit. Over the past two seasons with the White Sox, he owns the second-highest BA among catchers and the fifth-most runs scored, and that was while playing with Yasmani Grandal. Now McCann gets his chance to be the main guy behind the plate for the Mets, but is still being drafted as if he was a part-time player.

Last year, in 111 plate appearances with the White Sox, McCann posted a .289/.360/.536 line to go with seven home runs and 15 RBI. While it is unlikely that McCann would have kept up that pace over the course of a full season, it still bodes well for the likelihood that he can match his 18 HR performance from 2019 this upcoming season. Other factors that lend support to a 2019 repeat include a huge uptick in overall launch angle in 2020 (15 degrees from 10.8 degrees in 2019), and 2020 barrel and hard-hit rates that were close to or higher than his 2019 totals.
