Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Brice Turang delivered a multifaceted performance in 2024, showcasing his speed and defensive prowess. Over 155 games, he posted a .254 batting average with 7 home runs, 57 RBIs, and 72 runs scored. Notably, Turang excelled on the basepaths, swiping 50 bases, ranking third in the National League. While Turang's .254/.316/.349 slash line marked an improvement from his 2023 figures, his offensive metrics remained below league average, reflected in his 85 OPS+. However, his reduced strikeout rate-from 21% in 2023 to 16.6% in 2024-and increased walk rate to 9.2% indicate a more disciplined approach at the plate. Despite these gains, Turang's .349 slugging percentage suggests limited power, with only 7 home runs and a hard-hit rate of 29.7%. If he can build upon his improved plate discipline and tap into more power, he has the potential to become a more well-rounded offensive contributor, complementing his already stellar defense and base-running skills.
