Adam Duvall Coming Off Two Consecutive 30-Homer Seasons
7 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Duvall has emerged as one of the National League's better power hitters over the past two seasons. Duvall exploded on the scene with 33 homers in 2016 and followed that up with another 31 round-trippers this past year. The 29-year-old outfielder finished his 2017 campaign with a .249/.301/.480 slash line, 78 runs, 99 RBI, and five stolen bases. Duvall is an extreme fly ball hitter, as evidenced by his 47.3% fly ball rate over his career. That has helped to contribute to his consecutive 30-homer seasons but it also will make it difficult for him to hit for a high average as a lot of his non-homer fly balls will lead to outs. Duvall can serve as a cheap source of power who should be good for around 180 RBI + runs, as long as you can withstand his lower batting average.
