Eugenio Suarez

Suarez's power numbers were again strong in last year's shortened season, but his batting average plummeted to just .202. He hit the ball as hard as ever, however, and ranked in the top 9% of the league in average exit velocity. Suarez's BABIP was just .214 (he has a .310 mark), and although he hit more fly balls than usual, there's nothing to suggest that his batting average should have fallen off a cliff. In other words, there's plenty of reason to expect Suarez to hit closer to his .261 career batting average this year. Add to that his potential for 40 home runs and 200 combined runs and RBI, and he'll likely be a value in this year's draft.

Fantasy Impact

The 29-year-old had a down year in 2020 but he underwent shoulder surgery last January and it might've still been affecting him by the time the season rolled around. Over his final 37 games Suarez hit 246/.336/.592 with 13 homers, so fantasy managers should feel confident the power will return for good this year.
