Fantasy Baseball Shake-Up: Is Yu Darvish’s Return a Game-Changer and Colt Keith’s Rise No Fluke?
Tyler Freeman – SS/OF, COL: 18% rostered
(REGULAR STARTING ROLE, BATTING AVERAGE UPSIDE)
The stretch of games in Coors is done (for now), but that doesn’t mean you need to get rid of Freeman. He’s hitting .360/.452/.427 over his last 25 games with 11 runs scored and seven steals. The stolen base value is a bit surprising given his previous results, but he has 12 steals this season while hitting leadoff for the Rockies. Freeman had a solid enough season last year for Cleveland, and moving to Colorado should help him. Freeman makes a lot of contact, but the hard contact is limited, and his BABIP has been low in years past. Coors Field tends to boost BABIP, so Freeman could emerge as a .270 hitter with some decent speed and multi-position eligibility. Freeman is also 15th in Process+ since June 1st, so the stats are backed up by a strong approach.
