2023 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: In his first taste of MLB action last year, he posted an 87 percent contact rate, 91.3 percent zone contact rate, and 5.6 percent swinging strike rate. That’s excellent! If your league values OBP, Frelick is an ideal target, as he posted a 12.6 percent walk rate last season in his rookie year, which is excellent for his age! He turns 24 years old in April, and he should hit in the heart of the order against right-handed pitching, which should help pad those counting stats. 

2024 Outlook: Frelick doesn't possess the natural power you envision from a guy hitting in the middle of the order, but he makes a lot of contact and gets on base at a great clip. A .255 average, .350+ OBP and a member of the 10/15 club is very attainable for Frelick, not to mention 70+ runs scored, and I see a path to 80+ RBI. Call me an optimist! He's an excellent value in drafts, and if he can improve a bit against southpaws, he can avoid any platoon conversation and provide massive ROI at his current ADP, which is outside the top 60 players at his position!
