Sal Frelick

Sal Frelick went 1-for-5 in the Brewers' 7-3 loss to the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a slow night at the plate on Monday, Frelick has had a respectable start to the season and finds himself batting third in the Milwaukee lineup. Although he has yet to hit for power in the young season, his high average, speed on the bases, and ability to score runs still make him a valuable asset in deeper leagues or NL-only formats.

Sal Frelick has spent time training in the infield with former MLB player Dustin Pedroia this offseason.

Fantasy Impact

Frelick's workout sessions with Pedroia were setup by new Brewers' manager Pat Murphy. Frelick only played in the outfield as a rookie last year, but he could really enhance his value to the club by becoming a super-utility type player. If he earns Murphy's trust, Frelick could see significant time at both second base and third base this season. The 2021 first-round pick posted a .692 OPS with three home runs and seven steals across 223 plate appearances in the majors last season.
