He has elite curveball and fastball spin rates, but he was a bit wild with the breaking pitches, which is pretty typical for pitchers coming back.

Michael Harris II played 43 games in Double-A last year before getting called up to the majors and proceeded to hit 19 HR, steal 20 bases, and slash .297/.339/.514 on his way to winning the NL Rookie of the Year award.

The 28-year-old shortstop did the tango with the Giants (12-year, $315 million) and waltzed with the Mets (12-year, $315 million) before they rejected him, and he decided to take his ex back, signing a 6-year, $200 million contract with the Twins. In three seasons, he only has 924 plate appearances, and fantasy managers have been left to wonder what it would look like if he got 600 appearances in one season. The first half of 2022 found him in a terrible lineup, so opposing pitchers walked him 95 times in 436 plate appearances. Fantasy managers are clamoring for him to develop a second devastating pitch to increase his effectiveness overall. Jose Miranda should finally take his rightful spot as the Twins' everyday third baseman - not because he's a great defensive third baseman (he's not) but because they need his bat in the lineup. His GB% of 33.5 and LOB% of 82.8 contribute to his excellent ratios. His strikeout rate crept above 30% for the first time since his rookie year.

Even as the batting average slipped in the second half, the power and speed held steady. Riley sits in the 95th percentile or higher in HardHit%, xSLG, Barrel%, avgEV, MaxEV, and xwOBA, which puts him in a tiny group of batters who can provide power numbers without destroying your ratios. He will strike out and doesn't take as many walks as he should, but the lineup around him provides plenty of protection and a fantastic ceiling for counting stats. Gerrit Cole came in right behind him with an ADP of 7.19. Youre going to be thrilled with any of these pitchers. The shortstop position feels deeper than in years past, but heading into his age-29 season, Seager remains at or near the top.

Part of me hates the thought of devoting a precious keeper slot to a catcher who's still in development, but Varsho has a chance to be a unicorn at the position, splitting his time in the outfield and stealing a bunch of bases. And Hodgins looks like a keeper. Though he's coming off an outlier season on the wrong side of 30, you shouldn't have any reservations about keeping Wheeler. His .353 BABIP is unsustainable, so he will bat closer to his xBA of .257 than his .297 line from last year. The discount is nice and all, but you could forgo it if you're feeling the pinch. While you shouldn't overlook him, you can certainly hope your league mates do. He had been the target of many trade rumors at the deadline but stayed put. The lack of walks is his calling card, even if he gives up hard contact on his four other pitches. When the Yankees traded Jordan Montgomery to St. Louis for an injured Harrison Bader at the deadline, it seemed like somewhat of a baffling move, especially as he tore up the NL Central upon arrival.

Melendez debuted and appeared in 129 games in 2022, showing off his patience and power to the tune of 18 HR and a 12.4% BB rate. With Castillo, the concern is often that he starts slow, but Seattle may be a perfect location for him to settle in more quickly, as home games in April and May will have a roof option. Bieber will not dazzle you with an overpowering fastball, and he occasionally gets lit up by hard contact, but his K/BB ratio of 5.50 will provide a great floor to rely on. While his HR total dropped to 21, his runs (117), RBI (100), and SB (13) kept him in the fantasy MVP conversation. Entering his age-23 season, he's looking at many years of studliness still and is the only candidate for the top overall pick who you might be able to keep at a discount.

As a reward for that performance, he signed a two-year contract with the Mets so he and Max Scherzer can arm wrestle for who gets to call themselves the staff's ace. The Coors effect isn't going to bring the 31-year-old back near his prime, but he should put up better numbers in 2023 and recently stated he would be ready to go for Spring Training. He's going about 80 spots before Jorge Lopez, the actual closer, and handcuffing them isn't the worst idea. Fantasy managers can deal with those considering he is above the 90th percentile in Avg EV, Max EV, HardHit%, barrel%, outs above avg, and sprint speed. These days, you can't trust a pitcher to take on a full workload until you actually see him do it, but given the strides he made in 2021, another 40 innings would make Peralta and out-and-out stud.
