Hunter Goodman 2024 Player Outlook: Right-Handed Power Bat With Sleeper Upside In Deep Leagues
10 months agoColorado Rockies outfielder Hunter Goodman made his major-league debut in 2023 after hitting .259/.338/.581 with a .919 OPS, 34 home runs, 111 RBI and 68 runs scored in 106 games with Double-A Hartford and Triple-A Albuquerque. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder from Memphis went 14-for-70 (.200) with a homer, 17 RBI, five walks and 25 K's in his first 23 big-league games for the Rockies. The 5-foot-11 right-handed hitter managed to hit .280 with 72 home runs in his three minor-league seasons and has plenty of intrigue in dynasty/keeper leagues, especially since he'll be calling hitter-friendly Coors Field his home. The fact that he has a good shot of breaking camp on the Opening Day roster in 2024 will also make him stash-worthy in NL-only leagues for his power upside. Goodman is being projected by ATC to hit .248/.302/.448 with 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 43 runs and two stolen bases in 354 plate appearances in his first full major-league campaign. He should go undrafted in most mixed leagues.
