Rhys Hoskins is a first base fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Hoskins as an undervalued 1B in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 179
CURRENT ADP: ~189
ANALYSIS: Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins enters the 2024 season in unfamiliar territory as the veteran slugger will play his first game for a franchise other than the Phillies. Hoskins missed all of 2023 with a torn ACL and will look to get back on track with the Brewers, who signed him to a two-year contract this offseason.
For Milwaukee, it's a solid bet, as Hoskins was one of the most productive power hitters in baseball between 2018 and 2022. Excluding the pandemic-shortened season, Hoskins swatted between 27 and 34 homers every year since 2018 and posted a slugging percentage over .450 in every season in that span.
Hoskins provided steady power while displaying excellent on-base skills with a 13.5% career walk rate and a career strikeout rate that is also better than the league average. Toss in a sky-high 48.4% fly ball rate and Hoskins is primed for a bounceback season in the hitter's paradise that is Milwaukee.
There is, of course, some risk of a decline in production after not playing baseball for over a year, but at just 30 years old, there's a good chance Hoskins can come back as strong as ever. With an average draft position outside the top 180 overall picks, Hoskins is a solid gamble for inexpensive power late in fantasy drafts.
