![]() Even more terrifying? Mullins might have been “lucky” to even reach those pedestrian thresholds, as he sat below the 25th percentile in expected batting average (.232), expected slugging (.349), expected wOBA (.288) and barrel rate (4.9%). 291/.360/.518 in his first full season at the MLB level, but followed that up with a. For the sake of comparison, Mullins slashed. Looking back at Mullins’ 2022, we’re starting to see some evidence that maybe suggests the 28-year-old’s breakout 2021 campaign was a bit of a fluke. Yet another asset who loses steam due to the way stolen bases are valued in Best Ball, though let’s not completely blame the scorekeepers on this one. Cedric Mullins, Baltimore Orioles DraftKings ADP: 43.3 (OF15) Give me his risk over the risk of the Braves’ young star. Heck, there’s some guy named Mike Trout with a higher ADP than Acuna. 366 expected wOBA from last season however, at this point, I’d rather hitch myself to the relative safety of Mookie Betts or Yordan Alvarez. I assume Acuna will improve upon those figures this coming campaign, even if it’s just raising a. ![]() Give me any excuse you want, but that fact of the matter is that in the second-largest plate appearance sample of Acuna’s career, he posted underwhelming marks in both ISO (.148) and wRC+ (114). More so than any laments about Acuna’s availability in recent seasons, it’s his shocking loss of power in 2022 that has me nervous for the outfielder’s current price tag. ![]() So while it’s certainly notable - and maybe even likely - that Acuna swipes 40 bags in 2023 with the augmented rules, that feat isn’t enough to offset some of the concerns I have with the 25-year-old heading into April. First and foremost, as I’ve said time and time again in this series, stolen bases simply do not carry the same weight as home runs in Best Ball, as there’s no such thing as statistical scarcity. Overvalued Ronald Acuna, Atlanta Braves DraftKings ADP: 2.6 (OF2)Īcuna is one of the most exciting baseball players in the world, yet if he’s your second outfielder off the board in this format, you’re doing it wrong.
