Zach Neto is a SS fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Neto as an undervalued SS in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 223
CURRENT ADP: ~349
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto is having a big spring in Cactus League action. The 23-year-old is hitting .333 with 3 HR, 9 R, 9 RBI, and 3 steals.
Neto played 84 games at the big-league level in 2023. While his overall numbers were not great, there was a span of 51 games where he was outstanding. Before landing on the injured list in mid-June with a left oblique strain, Neto slashed .279/.359/.468 with 12 doubles, six home runs, and five stolen bases across 51 games. This may be a relatively small sample size, but it shows two things. First, Neto is comfortable playing in the majors. He debuted less than a year after being drafted, leading to many initial concerns.
However, he was ultimately able to produce in the big leagues. Second, his numbers likely went down in the second half because he was hurt. In 2023, he had two different IL stints. His subsequent numbers suggest that he never got quite right. Fortunately, going into 2024, it looks like he is healthy and ready to go.
I think Zach Neto is going to have a huge year in 2024. He’s showing some big power this spring. pic.twitter.com/BrVWLm1tcQ

With an NFBC ADP of 308, he has the potential to exceed expectations in 2024. ATC projects Neto to slash .248/.326/.419 slash line with 18 home runs, 63 RBI, 65 runs, and nine stolen bases over 532 plate appearances, making him a late-round value at his current ADP.
