Jo Adell

Adell has massive power but hit just four home runs in 35 games in the majors last year. But his strikeout rate was a very manageable 22.9% after it was an incredibly bloated 41.7% in 2020, and that generally bodes well for a prospect. He worked on a swing change this offseason and looks much, much more comfortable in the spring. As fantasy managers know, prospect growth is not linear, so Adell's mediocre performance in the majors to this point shouldn't give you much pause. You'll have to pay more for him than his numbers suggest you should, be he's got the type of upside that should make the price worth it.

Jo Adell homers Friday versus Rangers

Jo Adell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a single and a walk in Friday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Adell's eighth homer of the season on Friday opened up the scoring in the bottom of the second inning. The 23-year-old has disappointed all season, as he was never able to find consistency at the plate and spent some time in the minors because of it. The outfielder now holds a .224 batting average with eight homers and 24 RBIs.
