2024 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers
Triston Casas (1B – BOS)
“I see Triston Casas as a player who will skyrocket in value in his first full season. In 2023, he flashed his potential and showed why he was labeled as a highly touted prospect as he posted a 13.1 Barrel rate, a near 50 percent Hard Hit rate, and great expected statistics and wOBA and Slugging. Along with his bat skills, Casas exhibited great plate discipline, sporting a 14% BB rate and a 23% Chase rate. Although he does need to work on his strike-out rates, all of his other metrics point toward more positive regression in the 2024 season, and I can easily see Casas finishing above, at minimum, the top 70 percentile in all Statcast Batting Statistics. ”

Riley Greene (OF – DET)
“I keep drafting Riley Greene, and I don’t have any regrets about it. (Of course, the season hasn’t started, so there’s that.) His current ADP is 149, and I feel like that’s a deal at this point. In 2023, the 23-year-old improved his all-around batting performance, slashing .288/.349/.447 across 99 games. He is currently slotted in the lineup second, just ahead of Spencer Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter, who will be happy to drive him in 80-90 times. Greene offers too much upside to ignore, and I feel like he could be a Top 70 player when it’s all said and done.”

Henry Davis (OF – PIT)
“Henry Davis isn’t as exciting as he was upon his call-up last season, mainly because he’s no longer catcher-eligible in most fantasy leagues. That should change soon, as Yasmani Grandal is dealing with foot issues and is no longer the player he used to be anyway. Davis has worked on his defense all offseason, will be needed behind the plate, and should be able to slot in at catcher before long. That makes for a power bat with 25+ HR upside at a premium position. Davis has torched the ball this spring and could be a huge run-producer in the heart of the Pirates’ order.”
– Pierre Camus (Fantasy Endgame)
Aaron Civale (SP – TB)
“Aaron Civale is a sleeper after being traded to Tampa Bay at last year’s deadline. The Rays are one of the best organizations in baseball when it comes to pitching, and if they show interest in a player, it’s a good idea to buy in. Zach Eflin signed as a free agent in 2022 with them and subsequently had the best season of his career. Eflin took a step forward when he ditched his fastball and leaned into his sinker, curve, and cutter. Civale uses these same pitches at nearly the same usage rate as Eflin when he was on the Phillies. Civale pitched to a 5.36 ERA and 1.37 WHIP after his trade, but his xFIP was two full runs lower. If Tampa Bay’s coaching staff can get Civale on the Zach Eflin plan, his ADP of 213.8 is way too low. ”
