BALLER MOVE: Target ~50
CURRENT ADP: 61.3
ANALYSIS: Thrust into the middle of a playoff race, Corey Seager soared in his limited action. In 113 plate appearances, he slashed .337/.425/.561 with 13 XBH and a 19/14 K/BB ratio. If eligible, his .986 OPS would have ranked fifth in baseball, ahead of Miguel Cabrera, Nelson Cruz and MVP Josh Donaldson. The Dodgers had so much confidence in the youngster that he was the No. 3 hitter throughout the playoffs.
Yes, his .387 BABIP was extremely high and is due for regression, but he was mashing in his limited playing time. Anyone who has watched Seager in person can attest to the crack the ball makes off his bat. His 45.6% hard hit rate would have ranked first in baseball along with his 45.6% of hits to center field. Fellow Dodger Adrian Gonzalez said he sees Hall of Fame potential in Seager's future. Don't be scared off by Seager's Triple-A numbers (.278/.332/.451); this is a star in the making.
