Daily Fantasy Baseball: Positive Batted-Ball Regression Candidates for Week 3
Josh Donaldson's batted-ball profile says he's locked in despite his mediocre results. Which other hitters should be ready to bust out in DFS in 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.
