Breakout players can be defined in a lot of different ways, but I try to find young players who have at least shown promise and are ready to take a huge jump. In a perfect world, fantasy owners won’t have to pay a premium on draft day either.
In 2019, we were able to identify St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty. The right-hander went on to finish the season with 231 strikeouts, good for 13th overall in baseball, and a 2.75 ERA.
Hitting on a couple of breakout players will go a long way in winning a fantasy baseball championship.
