Who Should I Draft? Alex Bregman vs. Nolan Arenado
Alex Bregman (3B – HOU): ECR 68.6
Alex Bregman will turn 30 in 2024, and yet, he just keeps plugging away at the hot corner in Houston. He actually improved on all of his 2022 stats last season, hitting 25 homers, knocking in 98, and crossing the plate 103 times. His consistency in ratios is impressive, and fantasy managers can expect numbers in the ballpark of .265/.365/.450. He doesn’t strike out and mashes lefties. Bregman is the overlooked-because-he’s-boring guy that you can steal in the ninth round or later, and he should be well worth the pick.
Nolan Arenado (3B – STL): ECR 75.8
And the winner is…
According to the FantasyPros Who Should I Draft? tool, 75% of experts would draft Alex Bregman.
