Before the 2024 season, four of the top 20 prospects, according to Baseball America, had one thing in common: Their first name.
Jackson Merrill, the Padres shortstop/outfielder, was ranked No. 17 and quickly made his presence felt by becoming an All-Star as a rookie.
Despite stealing only one base, the 20-year-old raised his average from .210 to .243 in June after going 23-for-73 with four homers, 16 RBIs, 14 runs and a .897 OPS.Chourio remained steady through July, boosting his average to .262 after hitting .317 with three homers, 12 RBIs, 14 runs, four stolen bases and a .876 OPS.Fantasy baseball: Watch out for Reds phenom Rece Hinds’ likely regression
During that span, he had the fifth-best average, the 18th-best on-base percentage , the 21st-best OPS and 22nd-best slugging percentage in the league.Baltimore Orioles Jackson Holliday rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run against the Toronto Blue Jays during sixth inning MLB baseball action in Toronto on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.He also had a 16.5 percent strikeout rate and a 32 percent chase rate, which was down 6.2 percent from the first 50 games of his season.
There’s a reason the Brewers gave Chourio, who’s been hitting atop Milwaukee’s lineup, an eight-year, $82 million deal before he ever played a game in the majors — and we’ve been seeing a big reason why for the past two-plus months .That’s why it’s hard to believe the red-hot outfielder remains available in more than 60 percent of ESPN leagues. He should be rostered .
– After hitting .225 with 10 homers, 35 RBIs and a .635 OPS in the first half, Jake Burger has hit .293 with nine homers, 14 RBIs and a 1.071 in his first 20 games since the break. He’s hitting .286 with 12 homers and a .979 OPS since July 2.
