Jo Adell Fantasy Baseball Value
Baller Move: Target in drafts ~pick 277
Current ADP: ~337
Analysis: After a half-decade of anticipation with an equal level of disappointment to match, finally, the prophecy is fulfilled…
It feels like forever since the Angels selected Jo Adell as their first-round pick back in 2017, but I double-checked my sources and he’s still just 25 years old. Despite finishing 2024 as fantasy baseball’s 147th-ranked player, no one seems to care, as Adell finds himself once again parked near ADP 300.
Having posted MLB career bests in not only wRC+ and wOBA but swinging strike, walk, ground ball, fly ball, chase, zone contact, hard-hit rate, and barrel rates -- I’m finally ready to buy in for the big breakout.
While there are reasonable batting average concerns, Adell’s 2024 BABIP fell nearly 50 points shy of his prior MLB mark after posting a .286 BA throughout his MiLB career. Especially encouraged by the disciplinary gains, our next stop’s superstardom.
A full complement of at-bats with a willingness to steal plus last year’s glimpse of prodigious power (11.7 percent Barrel, 12.4 percent Pulled FBLD, 115.6 max EV) could be all it takes to make Adell a top-20 OF in 2025, and a top-60 overall selection in 2026.
Vinnie Pasquantino Fantasy Baseball Value
Baller Move: Target in drafts ~pick 102
Current ADP: ~113
Analysis: Vinnie Pasquantino has topped out at 19 home runs in 554 plate appearances in his young career. Once again Steamer has the highest projection on the Royals first baseman, putting him down for 26 homers this season. This is a budding star with great plate discipline that plays virtually every day. In fact, before getting injured on August 29, Pasquantino ranked 5th among first basemen with 554 plate appearances.
Fun Fact: #Royals Vinnie Pasquantino was the only player in 2024 (min 100 AB) to have at least a 50% hard hit rate and 90% contact rate on pitches in the zone

The 27-year-old corner infielder put up an impressive 93.9% zone contact rate last season, which ranked 5th among qualified hitters. This type of elite contact reminds me of Jose Ramirez. Let's remember that the Guardians star only hit 11 home runs in his first full season back in 2016. It took time for Ramirez to tap into his power, eventually getting to 29 homers in 2017.
I'm predicting that we see something similar with Pasquantino this year. You're likely to get enough volume for him to set a career-high in home runs. We just need some growth at the plate to get to 35+ long balls, which doesn't feel out of reach for this advanced hitter.
Tyler Soderstrom Fantasy Baseball Value
Baller Move: Target in drafts ~pick 290
Current ADP: ~315
Soderstrom will be starting his first full season in the MLB. He is just 23 years old but is a huge part of the Athletics' offense. The first-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft showcased big-time power potential with 29 homers in the minor leagues in 2022 and 24 homers last year split between Triple-A and the MLB.
After struggling in his debut in 2022, he held a .233 AVG in 2023 but smashed nine home runs to go with a .196 ISO and .322 wOBA. His xwOBA was much higher at .348 since his hard-hit rate was 48.9 percent with a 14.6 percent barrel rate, per Statcast.
While he didn't have enough at-bats to qualify, his metrics would have ranked him near the top 10 percent. He missed time with a bone bruise in his wrist, but he finished strong, going 12-for-43 (.279 AVG) with a pair of home runs and a .365 wOBA in his 12 games after returning.
Tyler Soderstrom has been considered as a breakout canidate all offseason and rips an RBI single off Matt Waldron!
106 MPH EV.
Lawrence Butler, who ripped a 110 MPH double, scores.

Soderstrom will hit in the heart of the order for the Athletics and has significant power potential which makes it worth taking the potential hit in batting average to grab him late in drafts.
