Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft

2.03: Yordan Alvarez (OF – HOU)

With Strider off the board, the power upside of Yordan Alvarez, paired with his consistency as an overall hitter, made him a no-brainer selection here.

Bryce Harper and Jose Ramirez were two other players in consideration for this selection.

5.10: Royce Lewis (3B – MIN)

I did not anticipate entering this draft selecting only hitters in the first five rounds but that is how it turned out with the best player available approach.

The lone knock on Royce Lewis is durability. If he can stay healthy, he offers legitimate first-round upside. I was willing to take the chance on that upside at the end of round five.

8.03: Justin Steele (SP – CHC)

Justin Steele finished fifth in National League Cy Young voting last year and found himself towards the top of the race for much of the season. He also dominated with a 1.17 WHIP, which could drop a bit. Still, he should be a strong value here in the eighth round if he can come close to matching the season he had last year.

13.10: Marcell Ozuna (OF – ATL)

Marcell Ozuna slashed .274/.346/.558 with 40 home runs last season. He figures to remain right in the middle of one of the most potent lineups in the MLB and should once again have plenty of chances to drive in runs on a game-to-game basis.
