Marcell Ozuna

Ozuna had a career year with the Braves last year, slashing .338/.431/.636, a career best in each category. His 18 home runs and 56 RBI led the National League, while his barrel rate, average exit velocity, and hard hit rate were all among the best in baseball. Given that he had shoulder surgery before the 2018 season, it's fair to assume that he needed two full years to recover. And although perhaps we can't expect him to again lead the league in power categories, you should expect roughly a 35-homer, 100-RBI season with a plus batting average. That makes him capable of being your first outfielder in mixed leagues and an asset to any fantasy team.

Fantasy Impact

Ozuna will return to the Braves on a four-year contract. The deal includes a fifth year option that would increase it $80 million. Ozuna slashed .338/.431/.636 with 18 home runs, 56 RBI and 38 runs scored across 267 plate appearances in 2020. The 30-year-old is expected to hit in the middle of a loaded Braves lineup and is currently 14th among all outfielders in the latest expert consensus draft rankings for 2021.
