BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 216
CURRENT ADP: ~238
ANALYSIS: Bo Naylor is often the No. 14 catcher off of the board and therefore is largely undrafted in most single-catcher, 12-team formats (the most popular).
Naylor boasts above-average power and sports quietly effective wheels, with stellar plate discipline to balance out a batting average that won’t win any awards. He’s popped 28 home runs in just 560 Triple-A plate appearances (126 games), with 11 steals and a .255 average on top of that. But it took him a while to get going in the majors.
The 22-year-old hit .179 with a 66 wRC+, four home runs, and one steal over his first 131 PAs (through August 18). He had a K/BB of nearly three. But it’s an early, small sample for a touted prospect, so patience was exercised (luckily).
Naylor’s final 99 PAs of the season would yield a .321/.434/.679 triple slash with eight doubles, seven HRs, four steals (on four attempts), and 17 walks to 16 strikeouts. It’s beautiful. If some of those gains track and we’re beyond some of the learning curve then we’ve got a late C capable of 20 HRs, 10 SBs, and an average of around .250. Sign us up!
The Guardians will be handing the keys at catcher over to Bo Naylor full time in 2024. And they've surrounded him by possible mentors. https://t.co/a7CvEGPSVd
