Baller Move: Add in all leagues
Owned in: 20% of Fleaflicker leagues
Analysis: With nine home runs, four stolen bases, and a slash line of .270/.352/.548 in just 126 AB, it is hard to believe that this brother of a "Splash Brother" is making just $513,000 for the Dodgers this season. Trayce Thompson may strike out frequently at 23.2%, but he is walking at a clip of 11.3% and when he makes contact, he has been crushing the ball. Thompson has produced HR and XBH percentages of 6.3% and 12% this year off of a fantastic isolated power figure of .278.
A large part of his appeal also comes in his speed. He has a power/speed figure of 5.5 so far this year, but we shouldn't be surprised at that. Thompson has had four minor league seasons of 18 steals or more since 2009, and his solid OBP has allowed him the opportunity to run the bases in 2016. His brother may be dominating the NBA finals, but with 80% availability, Trayce deserves a lot of love as well.
