Gabriel Moreno is a catcher fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Moreno as an undervalued catcher in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 159
CURRENT ADP: ~166
ANALYSIS: Gabriel Moreno will enter his second full MLB season in 2024, and he is one of my favorite sleeper picks in the later rounds. Moreno showed a lot of promise all around the diamond last year, which included winning a Gold Glove and hitting four HRs in the postseason. That has the 24-year-old catcher trending up in fantasy this year.
Moreno was solid at the plate in his first full season in the majors, hitting .284, seven HRs, 50 RBI, and 19 doubles across 111 games. The HRs might not be there for the Diamondbacks catcher, which explains why his ADP is so low. However, he'll hit for a high average (hit .311 in 256 career games in the minors) and total around 20 doubles and four to six stolen bases per year.
The young catcher won't be a target for those needing HRs in roto leagues, but there's a strong chance he could reach double-digit homers in 2024. If you count the postseason, Moreno hit 11 HRs in 128 games, including a long shot off Jordan Montgomery in the World Series.
Moreno will enter the 2024 season with plenty of upside in the later rounds due to his potential in a solid offense. Last season, the catcher found himself hitting third in the postseason. That would have him hitting behind Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte and in front of Christian Walker. If that's the case again, he should see his RBI numbers and runs scored increase from last year.
