Fantasy Impact:
Hoerner isn't a prototypical leadoff man regarding having a sky-high OBP (.333 career). However, he makes good contact, evidenced by his 11.0 K% and elite Whiff%. He is projected to swipe 20 bags and has a better lineup behind him than previous iterations of the Cubs. Hoerner is an excellent later-round filler who will have 2B eligibility shortly into the season.
