BALLER MOVE: Target ~135
CURRENT ADP: 185
ANALYSIS: Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr broke out and set several career-highs in 2017. The stat that grabs the attention of most fantasy owners is the 30 home runs he hit in 2017. He also set career-highs by a solid margin in runs scored, runs batted in and stolen bases.
Souza Jr. does offer a downside in batting average (.239 last season and .247 in 2016) so if you draft him, you may need to shore up that category elsewhere. It is unclear whether he can match the 30 HRs but it is fair to project Souza to reach the 20's while adding double-digit steals and helping in runs scored and driven in.
Where Souza Jr. really becomes valuable is when you consider that he is being drafted 50 spots too low. This will give fantasy owners the opportunity to add key roster spots before sniping a potential 20/20 player in the 14th round or later.
