Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo is a 2020 fantasy baseball draft value. His ADP is undervalued, making him a potential draft bargain and late-round sleeper to target.
BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~350
CURRENT ADP: ~484 overall
ANALYSIS: Johan Camargo appeared to have beaten out Austin Riley to be the Atlanta Braves’ third baseman before spring training was ended early and with a current ADP ~484, he’s effectively free in drafts. A lot of that has to do with his limited playing time in 2019, but he has been a productive player in the past.
Camargo showed what he can do in 2018 as a near everyday player for the Braves, with 19 homers and a .272/.349/.457 slash line over 134 games. That season he also had a 33.7 Hard Hit%, a .347 xwOBAcon, and an average exit velocity of 88 mph. Those aren't game-breaking numbers, but they suggesting that the line he put together was based on comparable skill. He could certainly repeat those numbers again, if not improve since he's only 26-years-old.
In an offense likely to score more runs than most, Camargo should still be able to score and drive in runs hitting in the bottom half of the lineup. He’ll also have dual position eligibility early in the season (if not already with it) which can be a key feature for players taken later in drafts.
