BALLER MOVE: Target ~75
CURRENT ADP: 94
ANALYSIS: After a dominant minor-league career and an impressive showing as a rookie, Marcus Stroman was a popular breakout pick in 2015. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in spring training. Originally expected to miss the entire season, Stroman instead made it back to the bigs for four September starts. In that small sample, he showed no ill effects from the injury. The gaudy strikeout totals from his time on the farm haven’t carried over to the majors just yet, but Stroman’s fantastic five-pitch arsenal, aversion to walks and heavy ground ball tendencies have him poised to join the ranks of the elite this season.
It certainly doesn’t hurt his fantasy stock to have the powerful Blue Jays lineup backing him, either. With Jose Bautista and his merry band of bat-flipping sluggers providing support, wins should be plentiful for Toronto’s de facto ace. Stroman's upside makes him worth reaching for on draft day.
