Joey Gallo

Gallo went from a big-time power hitter who would drain your batting average in 2017-2018, to a big-time power hitter who wouldn't crush your average in 2019, to a complete disaster in 2020. Gallo has actually been consistent against righties over the last several years, and the difference in his performance has been that he somehow destroyed lefties in 2019 (.333/.427/.747) and was worse than ever in 2020 (.143/.241/.386). The best bet is he's more like the 2017-2018 version of himself, and he'll likely put up a season where he hits around 40 home runs and bats in the low .200s. That's plenty valuable, and his ADP seems to be giving a ton of credit to his 2020 season. That leaves a lot of room for Gallo to outperform his draft position.

Fantasy Impact

Gallo avoids arbitration by settling for a one-year, $6 million contract. He struggled to keep his average above the Mendoza line, slashing .187/.311/.416 across 226 plate appearances in 2020. Gallo has elite power, but his low batting average makes him more of an intriguing option in points leagues.
