Expert Must-Have Fantasy Baseball Draft Picks

Michael Harris (OF – ATL)

We may have more of them these days, but 20/20 guys still don’t grow on trees, at least not yet. Harris just about accomplished this last year. Harris struggled to make the contact he wanted to early in the year but turned a first-half hitting just .255 into a.325 second half. He finished the year with a .293 average, but amazingly had an xBA higher at .304 which was one of the best in the entire league. Harris had an impressive 48% hard-hit rate and lowered his groundball rate in the second half. A lot of this has led to impressive projections. ATC has him over 20/20 and a .281 batting average. According to ATC, there are only three other outfielders projections, and there are only three other outfielders projected to go 20/20 with a .280 average or higher. All three of those hitters, Ronald Acuna, Julio Rodriguez, and Kyle Tucker are top-8 picks. Michael Harris’ ADP is just around 30th overall. Yes, please.

Corey Seager (SS – TEX)

Seager has landed at the top of many lists this offseason, so you probably already know the refrain. Defenses shifted the ninth-most against him in 2022, and a career-low BABIP decimated his batting average. His 33 home runs were a career-high, but most projections have him hovering around 30 again this year. At the beginning of the draft season, I was so excited to get him in the 7th round, but now, you’re lucky to see him in the fifth in a 12-team league. Do it anyway. He is the shortstop to roster in 2023.
