Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 3
Adam Frazier, 2B, Pittsburgh Pirates
Adam Frazier has thus far lived up to his reputation as an excellent contact hitter, stroking a .296 average over 62 plate appearances while limiting his out-of-zone swings to a Joey Votto-esque 21.0%.
Where the fourth-year infielder has lagged is in the power department, slugging .426 after flashing a surprising .456 mark across 352 plate appearances last season. But Frazier's expected stats in 2019 suggest that his small but significant steps forward last year are not a mirage, with Statcast tabbing him for a .519 xSLG on the year based on his quality of contact.
FanDuel players won't have to pony up much more than $3,000 to see if Frazier can get into one against beatable pitchers like Spencer Turnbull and Derek Holland this week.
