Ramon Laureano

Laureano had a down 2020, which included a .213 batting average and a sharp decline in his Statcast data, as well as his steal attempts. But he had provided a fairly solid baseline over the two prior seasons, with a .288 batting average, 29 home runs, and 20 steals while being caught just three times over 171 games. Laureano doesn't excel anywhere, but he'll chip in almost everywhere, and you can get him beyond the 12th round in most drafts. He's an ideal fourth outfielder in mixed leagues.

Ramon Laureano candidate for leadoff

OF Ramon Laureano is one of the top candidates to lead off for the Athletics this season.

Fantasy Impact

Laureano and Mark Canha are the top candidates to lead off for the Athletics in 2021. Marcus Semien and Tommy La Stella led off for Oakland in 2020, but both players left the team during the offseason. Laureano has decent speed and a career .343 on-base percentage. An everyday spot at the top of the order would only increase Laureano’s fantasy value. The 26-year-old OF slashed .213/.338/.366 across 222 plate appearances in 2020.
