Expert Note
View More NotesThe consensus No. 1 prospect in all of baseball, Franco received one of the first ever 80-grade hit tools from MLB Pipeline this offseason. A leveled, compact swing combined with "controlled aggression" gives him exceptional control of the strike zone. Franco has a career 83:54 BB:K rate in his minor league career, which is downright absurd. Already a top-30 player in dynasty leagues, the only concern with Franco's redraft value is that he has yet to play above High-A. It's tough to know how much progress he made at the Rays' alternate site last summer but there isn't another prospect who can match his probability of being a productive big league hitter.

Fantasy Impact
Franco is the consensus top prospect in baseball. Still just 19 years old, the switch hitting shortstop is just so advanced as a hitter for his age. He was diagnosed with biceps inflammation while playing in the Dominican Winter League back in December, but it isn't expected to be a long term issue. Franco is a near untouchable asset in dynasty leagues this offseason.
